This post has no lesson at the end…because this is the start. ❤️

I have hopes and dreams for the ending…but thankfully, God is the Writer.

Today we moved my son into college, and my daughter started her freshman year of high school this past week. I’ve handled it all pretty well…until yesterday, when I spent a little too much time in my own head.

Suddenly, it hit me: my whole world is changing. And I felt the heaviness in my chest.

I know these are all GOOD changes…but I hate change. 😬

Thankfully, God placed some of my “rock” friends in my evening yesterday. One of them said something I needed to hear:

“Yes, this is all good change, but your heart hasn’t caught up to it yet. Give it time.”

So here I am.

My daughter is making new friends, trying new things, and navigating all the new “yeses” and “nos” that come with being a freshman.

My son no longer lives at home. Of course, he’ll come home on weekends and holidays, but the dynamic of our family is changing.

Not bad. In fact very good…but…

Just…different.

And maybe that’s what makes this season so hard. We’re standing at the beginning of something new, and we don’t know what the story will look like yet.

There will be joys and celebrations. Memories and milestones. Fears and disappointments. Prayers, answered prayers to celebrate and some prayers that don’t look like we thought they should!

And through every bit of it, my only real choice is to trust God.

To trust that He is leading both of my kids toward the places, people and purposes He has for them.

So tonight, I don’t have some great lesson about how keeping the faith led to victory.

I only have my faith to keep right now.

Faith that God will continue to be there when I cannot be.

Faith that He is working even when I can’t see what He is doing.

Faith that His plans are better than the ones I could write myself.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5-6

I know I’m not the only parent or grandparent feeling the weight of all the changes that come with this season.

As your world changes…as your life looks different…as you wait for your heart to catch up with what your mind already knows…

Trust Him.
Keep the faith.
Give it time.
And watch the story unfold.

Because our God is a beautiful Writer. ❤️

And this?

This is only the beginning.

Who do YOU say Jesus is? 🤔❤️

This Sunday, at the Elmore Church of God we’re diving into two powerful passages: Matthew 16:13-20 and Romans 12:1-8.

Jesus asks His disciples a question that still matters today: “Who do you say that I am?”

And Paul reminds us that knowing WHO Jesus is should change HOW we live—using the gifts God has given us, serving others, and becoming the people He created us to be.

✨ Our identity in Christ leads to our purpose in Christ.

So…who do you say Jesus is? And what does that answer mean for the way you live?

Come join us Sunday as we explore faith, identity, purpose, and what it really means to be part of the body of Christ.

Two times. Two welcoming locations. One faith. ❤️

📍 10:30 AM — Elmore Church of God message “Who do YOU say He is?” and music
📍 5:00 PM — The River at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church -Oak Harbor OH music only, message by Tyler Holben
