The Twelfth of Forever 7/12/97

A get-together after church for pie and coffee, just a time of fellowship between friends, that is how it all started one Sunday evening in October. Two people sharing their hurts from the past, two friends feeling each others pain and offering support for each other.

We had known each other for 15 years, but never got to become close friends. Now I was hurting and needed someone to talk too, someone that had similar experiences. We attended the same Sunday School class at church, we each had teenage children, we were both involved with church drama and other functions. We just never knew each other very well. The rest as they say "Is history".

I am constantly amazed as to what God does and how He has the correct timing for everything. Of course this is just a small snapshot of how the Lord has worked in my life, and as I look back I am in awe as how the Lord can use such trivial things to teach such important lessons.

So with this small glimpse into my life, I ask, is there any question as to the wonders that God can do in the life of our church as we search His will? We are coming out of a broken, hurting and even questioning time, the Lord has been right there with us as we have traveled this road. If we have survived this, just imagine what is ahead.

Some have thought that the best years are gone, but I believe that the best is yet to come. The Lord will be right along side of us as we search for new Pastoral leadership, but we must be willing to go where He leads. I'm willing are you.

When I went through my divorce I thought that all was lost. My family is torn apart, my life will never be the same again.

Well in essence that was true, but after I let God take control, things changed. They were never the same but then again neither was I. I am stronger now and have more faith than before. As the song goes "I can see clearly now".

Will you walk beside me as we travel this journey to the unknown or will you turn and retreat back to familiar surroundings. ===Skid===
