They say that you never know what you have until you don't have it any longer. In June I moved to Destin for my job, and for the last ten months as I have been separated from my church, family, fiance and friends. During this time, I would have to say that "they" are right - especially during the holidays.
Thanksgiving my mom and uncle came to me, Christmas my fiance flew in the day of so I wasn't alone, Easter I told my family to stay home. What? Am I crazy? This has been the most different holiday experience for me, in more ways than one. I feel a void not cooking with my mom and eating dinner with my family but guess what I did instead?
Worked with FRC Pcola for the largest egg drop Pcola has ever seen, interacted with 5,000 people that for the most part didn't know about FRC until they came to the event, prayed and cheered for 17 people getting baptized at sunrise, greeted over 350 people coming into Easter service and walked to the front to support those that chose to accept Christ into their life for the first time.
I have been so humbled this weekend. I spent time with my church family and gave it all to Jesus this Easter.
