So B-Riz and I were CRUSHED to leave LOTS of things in Frisco/McKinney (OF COURSE our friends, mostly but also...) OUR CHURCH!!! Hope Fellowship was our HOME. It's where we found our best friends (aka-framily), where we found a place to be FED by a SUPER great and gifted preacher, Mr. John McKinzie. MAN we miss him. And them.
BUT! I'm pumped to say that we have found a church home here in Spring (well..actually our church is the BACCKKKK of the Woodlands...minor details...). Woods Edge is a VERY cool place. A different approach kind of. Or maybe I should say a different focus? Different style? They are BIG on PRAYER. They are BIG on making Houston a CITY OF GOD (which is so so so so cool). They are a part of the One Mission, which I think is pretty darn amazing. They do major work in Israel and CONNECT with the people there. The preacha-man is a humble, middle-aged, quirky, emotional, wonderful dude. The more time we spend there, the more at home we are beginning to feel.
AND!! They FINALLY have a setup for connecting people to small groups. They've struggled with that part of things for years (like most churches, i think!) but recently hired a new dude to take that role...the "connections pastor" i think is what they're calling him. And... he sure as heck is gonna help us CONNECT! We are SO ready. We are cravvvving some intimate relationships. B-Rizzle needs some man-time. We need some bible study action with other people.
I did my first women's bible study this summer and met some cool chicas. Like I said... kind of a different vibe than I'm accustomed to, but I ALWAYS love for God to open my eyes and my heart to new aspects of WHO HE is and what He's calling us/me to. YAY GOD!
Here's to new beginnings (that take over a year to actually start progressing, ha!)
ANd HERE'S to a church home!! :)
