Quite the weekend...

It was quite the weekend recently. Saturday I spent the day with my mom and sister-in-law Dayonna at the craft bazaar in Crawfordsville. That was fun, really put me in the mood for Christmas! Then I came home and did some work outside, picking up sticks, raking leaves, basically all the not-so-fun things. Sunday was Caleb and I's one year anniversary. We went to church in the morning, then he had to go to work right after. That didn't bother me because he is taking 4 days off at the end of this week and we are going down to TN for a while. That will be a ton of fun! Caleb has some family down there that we are going to see, and my sister also lives in TN and I hope to get to see her too! Anyway, last night we went to dinner with Caleb's brother Nathan and his wife. That was fun too, it was good to talk about some things going on with the family.

You know, family is such a difficult thing. I am so thankful that my parents were understanding when I told them that Caleb and I would not be going to their church when we got married. Caleb's parents, on the flipside, are not so understanding. We don't want to hurt them, but they don't understand that it is more important to Caleb and I to grow spiritually than to sit in the family church and not grow. We are put on this earth to glorify God, family is nice to have, but if they are prohibiting us from doing what God wants us to do, we are going to make the decision to follow God. I just wish that things would work out differently. I know it hurts Caleb a lot and I know that it is not pleasant for his parents. They just need to understand that the reason we are leaving is to glorify God.

Well, now that I got all that out, I feel much better! I am going to go work on some dishes and then take a walk to the good ol' Waynetown grocery store for a can of corn. :)
