The Taylor's Triumphs

As stated in my last post, we have a new addition at our house! I'm sure you instantly thought of a baby in the human sense, but she's a baby Min Pin. We got her on Sunday, February 8, and she has just turned 8 weeks old. She went about 24 hours without a name, but we finally decided she looks like a "Lizzy". We love her so much already and have only had her for a week. She is just too cute and so sweet until she starts barking during the middle of the night. :) I think we've probably just spoiled her during the day by holding her so much and now she wants to be held during the night too. I'm sure she'll get adjusted soon though. We love having her at our house, but Gypsy (our other dog that is 5) thinks otherwise. When Lizzy first came home with us, Gypsy would snap at her or actually bite her. Gypsy got in trouble quite a few times for that and now she just runs from her when Lizzy comes near her. I guess that's just the best way to avoid getting into trouble! We're hoping they'll make friends soon because we really don't like having to guard their every step to be sure they don't cross paths. Any way, she's really cute isn't she?

It's been quite a while since I've written. I planned to be a "good blogger" and keep up with things a little better, but I obviously haven't done very well. Maybe today will be the new beginning of a better go at this.

Over the past week, God has really been talking to me. Actually, He's been talking to both David and me. I love it when I can really feel that God is telling me something, but sometimes when it's still in the preliminary stages, it can be kinda confusing (to me). I'm one that doubts myself and also questions things sometimes, so I'm sure I make it more difficult to actually hear Him speaking to me. There are a couple areas of our lives that I'm really trying to focus on and I think those are the 2 that God is really working on for us. One is church. We love going to church. However, lately, we have felt that God may be moving us somewhere else. This is a pretty difficult situation, but if it's what God is wanting us to do, then we will without hesitation. David leads the music at our church and we are working on our Easter Cantata so we feel as though we are supposed to stay put until after Easter. We feel as though it is time for David to be a choir member rather than director so this is a pretty big change for us. We're unsure of where God may be leading us, but we're welcoming it if it's his will for us.

The other area that God is dealing with me about is one that I can't really disclose right now. This concerns me more than David, and I'm a little scared because it does require me stepping out of my comfort zone a little. However, I am eager to see what God decides in this situation as well.

Please pray for us as we go through these changes. We know God has allowed me this opportunity and He will see me through it, regardless of its outcome. We also know that God's hand is definitely in the church situation. We believe we have received the final confirmation about that and are at peace with it now. It's still just difficult to think about leaving the church family we have now. I guess that's all for now. I have another post to write soon, but I have to wait until I have pictures! I will give you a hint though....it's about our new ADDITION!!!! ~~I promise it's not the addition you're thinking!~~ ;)
