Today was the first of what I have dubbed our "visiting days." For the first time since leaving Grace, we worshiped with a new faith community.
Before traipsing through the snow, we gathered close in our car and said a quick prayer. We then proceeded up the long brick walk to the old high school building in which the church meets, a massive brick structure with ornate columns framing the expansive front doors. The building certainly has a presence about it. We had arrived early, so once we arrived we had a bit of time to look around. Shortly, we were greeted by one of the lead pastors, who walked us down to the children's area. We checked the kids in and proceeded to the service.
While worshiping, a deep sense of peace and joy enveloped me. We have just begun this journey. This will not be our last stop, but it could be. That in itself was a significant message to us today.

Thanks, Amy, for bringing us along on this new journey! During our family's recent time along the "visiting" path, we found it to be a great time of intentional, family-centered spiritual formation. And I just came across a blog that would have been a rich source of inspiration during that time, so I thought I'd pass it along: http://www.aholyexperience.com/.
Wishing you the joys unique to this time.
Lori, I'd love to hear more about your journey. We're excited that our children are old enough to be part of the process and we're taking time to include them as we dream about what it is we're called to.
I love the website you linked to. Thanks!
