Changes

I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but I've changed churches in the past couple of months. This was a Big Deal. I have attended Champion Forest Baptist Church since July of 1994 -- basically since I moved to Houston. I met DH there, got married there, and made many of my Houston friends there.
My church attendance during chemoland was sporadic, and once I started feeling better, and I started going regularly, I just felt...restless, as if CFBC was not where I was supposed to be. I would think about volunteering to be a SS teacher in DD1's class, and God would say, "Are you sure you want to do that?"
So I started visiting other churches. I visited Mark Shook's church in Hockley, that the girls detested. So I was praying about where to go next, and God put Cypress United Methodist Church on my heart. This is where DD2 went to preschool last year.
So we visited, and I walked in to the worship service, and recognized the worship leader as a friend of mine. I work with him at the quarterly marriage events at CFBC. I'm the producer and drama person.
So after the service, which I really liked, I went up to him and hugged him, and he said excitedly, "Are you coming here now? Because we need a production leader and a drama person!"
I told him I would pray about it, and God led me to commit to CUMC.
It's been very nice, because CUMC is a scant 7 minutes from my house. After ten years of the half hour trek to my old church, it's nice to be able to zip to church.
Farewell, CFBC. You are an awesome church.
