All settled in!

We'll I've moved out of my home town and settled down in my new home! It's been a whirlwind of a week+ (well really a month!), but both my pups and I are adjusting well! :) I've already found a church and I've attended two Sunday evening services. It.was.wonderful! I have to say it was BEYOND wonderful, the service was great, the worship time was awesome, and the people were super nice and very welcoming. I've also been connected with a small group that meets on Wednesday nights!

Last night at the service we were talking about God's Love and how we choose to come to church not because we have to, but because it's a CHOICE and that we choose it because God loves us, but we also love Him. Growing up in a Christian home and always being around Christian's I sometimes have a hard time figuring out how to interact with others who don't necessarily believe the same things I do. I especially have a hard time figuring out how to explain to them that being a Christian isn't a set of rules or do's and do not's or can's and can not's, it is about a relationship with Jesus Christ and that I CHOOSE to love Him, read His word, and attend church regularly. It's about a relationship that I have with Him because I love Him dearly. I try to live my life so that I can show others through actions that I am a believer and not just by words, because I believe actions always speak louder then words. One verse we read was Romans 5:8 "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." If that isn't a testament or action of love, I don't know what is!

Until next time,

Beth

P.S. Here's an adorable picture of what I get to see every day. ;)
