The hardest thing!!
Someone asked me last time I was home what was the hardest part of being on the road with Kendall and I said lots of things but I have discovered what is the hardest. Being away from family and friends is hard, but I think the hardest part is church. What I mean by that is finding a new church is always so hard. I have figured out that other than Kendall and the kids, the thing I personally need most is a good church. I need to be part of a group who belives that Jesus is the only way to get to Heaven and that sometimes is hard to find. We've been to churches that say as long as you have good intentions you'll get there or if you'v lived a good life at the end HE will weigh out your good and bad deeds and it the good out way the bad then you'll get to Heaven. Been to churches where the Pastor just spoke about LOVE and love is what we all need to have, never presented the plan of salvation or told people how to get to Heaven.
I need a church where the gospel is preached, where the preacher really preaches, preaches that JESUS and only JESUS is the way to Heaven, how to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. That once you accept HIM, HE will change you and you will never be the same. A church that is glad you are there, a church that has wonderful music, a church that is there to love and help those in need, not a church that just entertains. So many churches these days think entertainment is where it is and I LOVE a good Christian concert, or play but once ya get em there tell em how it is. Life is not all good and easy once you start this walk with the Lord but it's the only walk I want. I need a good preacher who preaches the word and isn't afraid to call sin, sin, one that thinks you should hate the sin and love the sinner. THAT is the thing that's the hardest part of not being in Louisiana or Mississippi, tryin to find a good church like our home church or Northcrest and tryin to find a good preacher like my Daddy or Dr. Dan Lanier.
There are so many things I miss while we are gone but this, to me is the most important thing!
