We've been attending Grace for over 13 years. My husband Frank more like the last 8.5 years. Frank realized his need for Christ 2 months after we adopted Jenna. As posted previously we waited 9 years, several miscarriages, and each losing a parent to cancer before God blessed us with a child. Two months later, Frank lost his job. He was crushed. I was angry. All I could think about was that I waited this long to be a "mom" and now I have to work full time while He gets to stay home with my sweet little girl.

I also understood how devastating this was for him. I too in the past have lost a job. And it hurts and cuts you down to the core. It really strips you raw. I tried to be as supportive as possible. It was through this time that Frank really realized his need for Christ. He had been coming to church with me since we received Jenna, but only because I told him if we were going to have a child, we would go to church as a family. Now things were different, he was hurting and needed someone to turn to.

Now we're both very involved at Grace. And we absolutely love our church family. It's so great to do church together as a family. My heart goes out to the people who sit in the service alone. I know that feeling well, I did it for 5 years. Just remember God is faithful and good.
