Actually, I couldn't think of an appropriate word for this blog. I've been in a funk lately--more like the last nine months--when we learned the rent-to-own house we'd "bought" was being put up for sale. My spiritual life has been in a downward spiral, but I've trusted all along that God has been beside us. Yes, even holding us in the palm of His hand, despite the free-fall feeling we've been experiencing since then.
The housing situation remains closed of this writing; two houses have become available, yet despite our "hounding" the landlords, we've received no response.
My husband and I attended a children's ministries workshop over the weekend with Dr. Sherry Ifft, an internationally-known speaker for Children's Ministry International. We learned a great deal about childrens' ministries, and how they're second to the bottom in terms of priorities within the majority of churches. Typically, children are pushed out of the church service and have their "own" service, often in a dank, neglected portion of the church with few supplies and materials are available to learn about Jesus. How wrong is this? Even though I am just a helper in the nursey, I needed to have my perspective changed, and God did just that this weekend. I am viewing children through His eyes now; I haven't been able to focus clearly because of the troubles we've been enduring. So perhaps Cee is for ... Seeing Clearly.
