Faithful and Praising God

     I posted a few days ago about something the Lord had layed on Caleb and my heart. The Lord has finally led us to a decision and we have talked with our Pastor about it so I am finally able to write about it here. We have been praying about this decision for months and although it hasn't been an easy one to make we are both thankful it has FINALLY been made. We have decided to step down as members of our church. This in NO way means that we will not still be visiting there, as we will as often as the Lord allows. We do not know where the Lord is leading us to be yet, but we are faithful that He will provide us with that answer soon. We have done tons of research and feel that being members of a church is not a necessity in being a Christian. We are not members of one building of believers but members of the Church of Christ...therefore, if we choose to go to church with my parents...we are still fellowshipping with other believers. If we go to church with my husband's parents...we are still fellowshipping with other believers. We know that the Lord is leading us to a specific place...maybe not even in Virginia, but until then, we will continue to place our trust in Him. Pray for us...this has been SO hard!  We are having trouble listening to the Lord with this decision He has made for us. Pray that God will lead us to where HE wants us to be...and not where WE want us to be...or where family, friends, previous church members, want us to be. I've been a wreck for months now and it has taken endless amounts of faith in God to follow through with His plan!  But, with each step we take...it brings us one step closer to our Savior!  And this makes us so happy!
