Letting go to grow

I have not been on here for a few months! A lot has happened in my life since then, and some of them happen to be having an amazing summer.  I can honestly say that we have not had a summer filled with such fun things as this one, and what's amazing is we are doing all of it together as a family! It has mostly been just the three of us doing the things together and I absolutely love that! This summer has been growing our family more together than ever! Me and my "boys" have become quite the 3 musketeers! I was lying in bed the other night thinking to myself that this is exactly what our family needed. If life was just like this all the time, I would be one happy woman. I mean just from stepping away from a church and all the ministries we were involved in has given us this time! I was extremely heartbroken when we decided to step down from leading worship and leave our church, I cried for weeks over it. but it has been the biggest blessing to our family. My husband and I are not tied down to commitments that take time away from our family, instead we are given more time to be able to be a better family unit! I can honestly say that letting go of that church was really hard for me because I did love some aspects of it and I did love some of the people. But it has been the biggest growing period for me and my family, plus I am still connected to some of the people there, so it's not like I'll never see them again! 
My husband and I have been down this road before, we were being called away from our last church for years, but didn't listen to God. Well after years of not listening and just remaining "comfortable" , God pulled us out and it really hurt and we had bitter feelings towards the people there. So when we felt the pull this time we decided to listen and to follow, even though it was heartbreaking!
Although we don't know what is in store for us in the future or what church we will end up at. it doesn't matter because all that matters is that we are following where God wants us to be. 
It's amazing how blessed you can be when you follow God's lead! I feel so refreshed and so full of peace and I feel this is why. I am very exciting to see what the future holds for our little family!
