I know I seem to write all the time about how perfect my life is, but its true and I'd like for everyone to know that and know how its possible for them too. I got saved when I was like 9 years old. IT's easy to love the Lord with all you have when you're 9. You haven't met that high school boyfriend or went to college parties or had any other temptations of that degree. I'm not saying its hard to love God becuase it's not, it's just that you have more things ...tests if you will...to prove that you DO love him. I've always gone to church (maybe not every Sunday...but ive always gone) I have never once doubted his existence or power. I just got sidetracked. Lots of people get that way. It just takes that extra ummph to get you back on track. WE have been here in North Carolina 5 years in June and we have tried so hard to find "that church". That perfect church that fit us like a glove and offered all the programs that we wanted and needed. We found it...after five years of looking (and a couple of just not going anywhere). This perfect church is Seven Lakes Baptist Church in West End, NC. We drive 35 miles every sunday to this perfect church and we get a TRUE BLESSING every time we go. God put us there for a reason. NOt sure who reads this, but for a long time my in laws and I just did not get along. We didnt' agree on lots of things and sometimes id say i just plain didnt like them or want to be around them. Well we've just had Gracie and she needs all the family she can have right now and we need their support and love. So anyway at the end of the service every sunday the preacher calls anyone to the altar that needs to pray or give praise or what not... Something had been telling me to go a few sundays prior to this but i never did. So on April 1st I went up and prayed for God to release the burdens off of my husbands family. To let them be free from Satans Bondage and let us get along and attend church together...etc etc. I asked him for a MIRACLE. That miracle came in the form of my husband and brothers car accident. God does work in mysterious ways but i can absolutely not tell you how much GOOD has come from all this. First and foremost that they are both healthy and alive. My moms sister that hadn't spoken to any family in over two years is now back in our lives. My dad/stepmom and my mom/stepdad GOT ALONG (at the hospital when dad drove 750 miles to see my brother...which in itself is also a miracle since he never visits anyway). I just can't even put a price on all these things and even more that have happened. I actually feel as though my in laws like me now...even love me maybe? I think some of it too is probably lil Gracie but its' all God's work. My husband (who before i had to beg to go to church) is now wanting to be baptized and become an active member of the church family. i am soooo happy about that!! anyway tahst my testimony. God saved their lives and that touched innumerable lives around them. There is no way they should have survived. See pics at www.bastarache.info/accident and see for yourself. Its a true miracle.
Ps Miss Gracie is doing just perfect. She has gained over 2 lbs since we left the hospital 6 weeks ago tomorrow. I love her so much and I can't imagine my life without her....shes perfect (lol dont all parents say that?) See pics of her at www.myspace.com/jenandwill in the pics section
Until next time...
