So this past week has been busy, crazy, trying, emotional, etc!!
Dilyan started working at twin rivers factory this past week, I've had to take him to work around 5:30pm and then be up to pick him up at 3-3:30am! It's safe to say my schedule has been a little thrown off! But I'm very happy to be helping him out!
Other than him working and me helping him. I've gotten to get to know his new little family which include his girl friend Jessica and her 1 year old daughter Joselyn. We all went to a new church this past Sunday here in Neosho. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing that day was! So we woke up and it had snowed and was STILL snowing. Nathan figured we'd just stay home. But I told him, I'm going to church. For about a week, my heart had been led to go to Abundant Life church here in Neosho. So we got up and got ready. We picked Dilyan, Jessica, and Jojo up from one motel. Sunday was the day they had to check out so we loaded all their stuff in our car and headed to church.
The worship service wasn't what Nathan and I were use to, it was a little more mellow. Then the pastor started his sermon and was talking about what the meaning of Palm Sunday truly was. He also started talking about how there are people who "think" they're doing everything they need to be doing as Christians and yet when they get to heaven God will turn them away. Instantly my heart was shaking and I felt God's pull on my heart. I don't know why it's so hard for us as humans to step off the path. I feel like just a few months ago I was getting back on the path, proclaiming I was going back to Jesus and here I am finding I've gone off path yet again! They did an alter call for those who weren't saved or for those who wanted to re-dedicate their lives to Jesus. I looked over and saw my brother and Jessica were bawling and going up. Nathan was standing beside me and I just stood there frozen.
My whole life I've always struggled with "Oh what would people think if I did this" Or "I can't go up there because people will think different of me" So I was there frozen, not wanting to go up there. God with his loving way was telling me you need to go up there and still I was frozen. Then Nathan took my hand and said "come on, we need to be up there!" I was shocked and relieved. Through Nathan, God found a way to calm my spirit and give me that sense of peace and comfort that I was needing to take those steps up to the alter. That is why I believe God made the man the head of the household. God knows I look to Nathan for guidance and strength. I'm so thankful for my husband and I'm so thankful for God for making him for me!
So Sunday morning Nathan and I re-dedicated our lives and Dilyan and Jessica gave their lives. I can't even tell you how proud I am of both of them. I know Dilyan has been hurting and struggling for a long time. And it's been even worse since mom has passed away. I know this is only the beginning of a beautiful start for them both. I am also very excited to be starting this new chapter of mine and Nathans lives. It's nice to be back on the path, living for God each and every day!
I now know why I was being led to go to Abundant Life, and I'm so glad I didn't just stay home because it snowed.
So far this week has been great. Production at twin rivers was shut down Monday because of no work and Monday night Lazboy called Dilyan for an interview. He went to it Tuesday and got the job! He is so excited to have this job because it's a set schedule and will allow him to have insurance. He is just doing so great, I couldn't be more proud! He starts Monday! He worked last night at TR and got called today bc there is no work tonight. So praise the Lord for this new job with Lazboy!!
Well that is all I have for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and know that you are Blessed and Loved!
