WHAT AM I TAKING FROM AMARILLO?

A dear friend of mine asked us the other night what we are taking from Amarillo. My initial reaction was not alot. But then I began to think... Anyone reading this remembers how Michael and I were when we came to Amarillo. Devasted by the lose of our precious baby boy, dealing with a diagnosis of a life threatening disease, struggling in our marriage, hard and sinful hearts was what we carried to Canyon, Texas in our one bedroom/one bathroom rent house. As the months passed on, it only got worse until one night when we reached our lowest point and realized that something had to change or else we would lose our marriage and life as we knew it. We decided to go to church and I will never forget stepping into the building at Trinity Fellowship Church and knowing in my heart that something amazing was going to happen here. We sneak in hoping no one would notice us and sat in the very last row. But we soon discovered that God speaks to you regardless of where you sit. It wasn't long before we felt the Lord tugging on our hearts to give our life to Him instead of trying to do it for ourselves. I will NEVER forget the feeling I had as we walked down the aisle to finally accept that we needed and wanted Him in our life and hearts forever. As time went by, the Lord began to heal our hearts, marriage, and my body. It has been an amazing ride with the Lord!!! He has surrounded us with godly men and women that we know are our friends through thick and thin, healed our marriage to an amazing place, and 100% healed my body from any sickness. After being told that I would "never have children or else it would kill me", I know can claim my healing as I look at my two beautiful children and know that they are our gift from Jesus. So as I think of leaving Amarillo, I am forever grateful that He brought us here and did so many great things in our life. I am taking away our salvation, two beautiful children, healing, and wonderful friendships. Imagine what else He can do? Thank you, Jesus. You are our rock on which we stand each day on.

We are taking down our computer this weekend and packing it so I won't be blogging for a little while. I look forward to updating you in a couple of weeks.
