Adam and I have gone through a number of changes in the last several months and in fact we still are. It's been a difficult season, but we have seen the Lord carry us and provide for us in new and beautiful ways.
Here are a few pieces of our story. Adam and I moved to Central, PA-- Sunbury a year and a half ago to to start a new life here. He took a position at a local church here. We fully believe that as we sought the Lord in that process through prayer, conversation with each other, and conversation with our community that God led us here. We thought at that time that the season would be for more than a year, but not every book you open is as what it seems.
The season at that church ended just about three months ago now. We have seen the Lord multiply our financial resources, give us a new place of true worship, and bring new friends around us that really want to get after serving Christ. I honestly feel very grateful, yet this is so not the path I would have chosen.
I have watched my husband lead our family and remain open the the Lord's hand in our life. This is such a gift to me as I often want to take control, manipulate the variables, and "make things work". This season is teaching me to remain patient, do what I can do for today, and then rest-- call it a day and enjoy what God has placed around us.
It's in this time that I have grown even more in my heart an understanding of the love that my father has for me and my family. Things are messy and imperfect right now, but I'm learning to accept the imperfect because of my perfect Savior.
We are also not waiting for things to "work out" to get connected or to get plugged in with others or to serve others for the sake of Christ. I think my natural tendency is to want to do so, but becaues of our love for Christ we are going to love others even in our time of need.
So this is my update on us the Scheidegger's . . . now called the Scheidegger Sitch
