The Joy In Life

This morning was wonderful! Lyndon and I have been searching around for weeks trying to find a perfect church for us to attend. We had a few in mind and have been taking the last few weeks to regroup and start fresh. Lyndon's grandma works with a lady who said she goes to a church in Ontario, Oregon. Last night, Lyndon and looked it up on the internet and decided it was worth a shot.

This morning we drove to Ontario. As we were getting out of the car I looked at Lyndon...."Ready?" He smiled.... "Yep." It was great. This is the first time in our relationship where we have stepped out of our "norm" or our "comfort zone" and reached out for something new.

Before we could even get to the door to the sanctuary (Sorta... The church is at 4 Rivers Cultural Center, so it was kind of a conference room, but you get the idea), we were greeted by at least 5 people. It was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and inviting. When we got in the room, we had no idea where to sit, so a girl named Joanna asked if we would like to sit with her. She was the friendliest girl! Actually, we swapped phone numbers so we could catch up some other time!

The service was amazing. The Lord was in that place and I haven't felt that power in a long long time. I was touched and challenged. The sermon made me want to go out and do more in the community to show God's kingdom and love.

This morning was DEFINITELY amazing. A great step in a new direction for us. We even got new coffee mugs! Really cute. I know I'm probably the only one excited for that. But, great morning..... LOVED IT!

Until next time.
