God is GOOD...

So I have to admit, we went from going to church 2 times a week down to once a week and now we are going once a month. Why?
Here is what happened. I love our church and church family. I really think it is the most amazing church I have ever been to. The problem started on Wednesdays, it was so late when we got home and while Ashlynn was in the nursery she was exhausted and crying (screaming) and Nick was just WORN out. So every Sunday was great even though it was SUCH a big fight to get Nick into his class. I really didn't understand it because when he goes to our friend's church he just walks right in like he knows what to do. But we kept shoving him in (I really hate doing that) because I feel like in these times kids and parents REALLY need church. Then a year ago Terry had to start working weekends (don't even get me going on that)no problem because we are committed and going to keep going no matter how difficult it was getting 4 kids rounded up on Sunday mornings. If that is my biggest problem I am doing good. So then it started getting cold outside and with cold winter weather comes sickness! First is was Natalie with Swine and we stayed away for a week. Then each kid passed it to each other. That took a month. So we went back to church feeling all good after being "stuck" to our house for a month. That Sunday night sickness strikes again and it just went on and on the ENTIRE winter. I am not kidding you and at one point I was worried because Nick was carrying a high fever at least once a month sometimes more. We all passed the flu, stomach bugs, virus after virus and now FINALLY we are better and have been for a month. There was one time I had to keep all of us away from everyone because if we came near anyone who had a runny nose one of us got it and it turned into a virus then went to each of us.
So for those who have wondered what happened to us...we have just been staying away for your health and ours. But get ready because our little group is headed back your way!
By the way I think I figured out why Nick was so upset about his church class. During the winter we have one church service on Sundays. That made his class very large,loud and crazy. Now that we have two on Sundays he loves it (the 2 times he has been) this past Sunday he even cried because we did not go. That makes me happy! Not happy he cried but happy he wants to go. So like I said before
GOD IS GOOD! We are a very blessed family.
