Just wanted to let everyone know that we think we have found a church. The funny thing is, it is the first church the Jameson's were members of when they moved to North Carolina. Green Street Baptist. We had visited several times before, but had only been to Sunday School. We went to Sunday School and Worship Service today at Green Street. They have a fairly new minister and we got to hear him preach today. He is AMAZING. I have never felt so spiritually fed in a church. The sermon was on using the Bible as law and showing reverence, considering it the authority, and applying the Word to daily life. Funny how God works. These have been things that Benji and I have really been talking about lately. Really applying the Word to our lives.
Sunday School was surprising as well. We really enjoy the teacher, and today he was talking about bringing friends to the Lord. Will we be prepared with what to say and do when we are asked about our faith? We have several couple friends that we are very close with that really do not "do" church. They will say that they believe in God, but that is as far as it goes, words only. Benji and I prayed fervently last night for our friends, and then walked in to Sunday School and were asked immediately if we had friends or family members that we wanted to reach. We were able to share about our friends. It was really an fantastic feeling. We know He knows all, but to know with that kind of immediateness that God heard our prayer was pretty awesome. I have always wanted to hear His voice, His actual voice and know with out a doubt that it was the Lord telling me to do something or answering my questions. Today we found out what that was like. God heard our prayer last night and gave us some answers today. Amazing.

Blessed
God is so good. Benji and I are both feeling a little better this week. Benji has taken some steps to solve the issue he has been dealing with. Please keep him in your prayers.
I am feeling a bit of God given relief. I am not feeling the peace that I need to feel to stay in my current position, but I feel that God has given me the bit of peace that I need until something else comes my way. He is so good.
Benji and I have done a lot of praying. We both feel that the Lord has put these road blocks inb our way to detour us back to him. We have never stopped believing, but I think we had started taking a lot for granted. These last couple of weeks have brought Benji and I closer and have brought us both closer to God. He is funny. The way He works is mysterious and amazing.
One of my devotions this week talked about parents and their children. Children ask and ask and ask, and the parents give. When the children are not thankful, or do not return the parents love, does the parent not tire of giving? This was compared to God, and the asking we constantly do. God give me this and please God give me that. If we do not return the love and have a relationship with Him, does he not tire of giving us what we pray for? This really hit home for me, and I shared my devotion with Benji. We have become very convicted, and I am feeling that I need to be doing something more as a servant for God. Please pray about this for me.
The Lord is so good, and we have seen that over and over. We feel so blessed. Thank you for being the family and friends that you are.
