I should be getting ready for church, but instead I thought I'd drop in and say 'Hi!' Ross & I are excited for his parent's visit this week. They will be here today thru saturday. I plan on getting lots of photos which I hope to share with you later. We don't have many plans set in stone, but it will be nice to have visitors this week :)
On top of that, I start my new job tomorrow. Good thing I passed the background check, drug test, referral check, and the 567 true-or-false Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. That test was a doozy! Of course there is no right or wrong answer, but once I googled it, I was intrigued but how much it can tell about a person. I wish I could see my test results. I wonder if they've figured out how weird I am :) Or special. That's what I'll call it :) Anywho, work starts tomorrow and I'm thankful to be busy with the in-laws today so that I don't have time to be nervous. I'm anxious to get the first WEEK over with b/c it's always the hardest!
Aside from that, Ross & I have been trying to find a church. We started our hunt last week with a church that meets in a school (aka starter church). Today, we're trying a Presbyterian Church. The hardest part for me is figuring out what religion to go with. I grew up Lutheran, then switched to Presby, then attended non-denominational, then lastly (and my favorite due to the people & the pastor) Ross & I really enjoyed his friends church which was loosely based on Baptist. Oi! OH, and on top of that, Ross was raised in a Catholic school...but luckily we can rule that out b/c neither of us are Catholic and the nuns scarred him for life! Of course I know that Presby, Methodist, Lutheran, etc. are all Christian based, I just don't know how to choose (and really don't know how they differ from eachother!). I think it will come down to being a small church so we get to know people, but also enough people so that have a chance to make friends. I just wish I had more guidance in which religion to choose. I guess as long as we like the people and the pastor, we'll find a winner. So let the hunt continue :)

Hi Kristen, I'm thinking and praying for your first day of work! I hope it's a great experience. I remember your first day (week...month) at Westinghouse..and how lonely it was.
ReplyDeleteAs far as which church....We believe that God nudges (through his Holy Spirit), calls and gathers His children. So you are already being nudged by God! I'm sure He will lead you to a place to worship Him. I'll pray for guidance for you to find a church home and friends there. That's where we found friends when we moved to California and Las Vegas....back in the day.
Love you. Aunt Beth
