I have a simple but quiet life where I am at the moment...
I am focusing on my family....my growth as a Christian..my influence as a grandparent..
But, to sum it up..they are all teaching me...
My grandson crawled up in my lap yesterday and fell asleep in my arms...As I prayed over him ,I could feel God's presence in my life..
It is simple..feeling comfort in the Little things in life..
I am used to full activity during my days...Lots of friends..lots of lunches and breakfasts out, lots of coffee drinking, ..lots of stuff going on..
But in the quiet of my new life..it is slow..not many friends..not many phone calls,,but just me and my self..I am left to decide ..is this really what God has for me ? It is hard to be away from the familiar.. but I still feel God wants me with my husband wherever it is he is going to be..
It is nice not to have to travel as much..God is showing me my sin and my ugly and refining my spirit, at times it can be painfull..but I know he has slowed me down for a reason and a purpose..
We visited a church this weekend and the people were amazing..They were friendly and kind..It felt good..We miss our friends and our church..The familiarity of the building and the many people who dwell in his house...God is teaching us so many new lessons..
Please keep us in your prayers as we learn the lessons of a simple life...

We are missing you so much. I know you love being with family- it just doesn't get any better. Atlanta Bread is just not the same without you. Instead of laughing with you, Courtney and I just talk about how much we miss you!
Glad you are at peace. Call when you can.
Hi, Although I don't know you...we seem to be heading down the same path of life? I left everything I loved ten yrs.ago in Dothan, AL. To this day I miss my friends, church and life as I knew it. Like you, I have been living a different life. I have had time to reflect back and now just realzing that...yes, God has a bigger plan. I am now learning how to wait on that plan. Life is very different for us. I still haven't found a church home. I guess I expect toooo much and will have to rethink this. I need to give up my Dothan home and move on. I hope it doesn't take you ten yrs. You sound like you are ahead of the game and know how to trust God! I wish you much love, luck and happiness no matter where you head!
Missing you girl, hope to see you in March
Mom, I love you and I love having you close! Your the best!
Lauren
So Ms. R, have you officially moved from Dothan? That makes me sad although I know you are loving being with your family. Tell everyone I said hello!
Oh Robin, I didn't even think how difficult this move would be for you!! And I'm not gonna lie, it's going to take some time to adjust to this slow town, meet people, fit in. You'll make it. And I'll go out to breakfast or lunch with you anyday. :)
Missing the laughter, Robin! I understand the path you are on and I am praying with you as well as for you-God is good all the time! I will be in Mobile in Feb for Diocesan convention-hope to see you and the girls. I will be staying with Carolyn L.
Well, I think you can tell you are definitely missed! I hope you continue to adjust to your knew way of living.
As for me, I am around. I have several things I want to post. But with Jeremy's new business, he takes up the computer most of the time!
