The new Target in spring hill opened a month or so ago, we went opening day, it was crazy the entire town came and packed it out! Nothing really special , it’s just another store, but something hit me when we were there, out of the hundreds of people that were there we didn’t recognize even one face. We have lived in Spring Hill for almost a year and a half now and we didn’t even know our neighbors, that is when it really hit me, something is not right with this picture, where did we go wrong?
We as believers are called to be a light to the world, a beacon of hope to the hopeless. I believe with all my heart that the Lord called us to Spring Hill, so of course Spring Hill should be our mission field, I guess we have been so busy holding on to the past we have been missing what God has for us to do here and now.
2 Weeks ago we moved from our old Church in Franklin to an awesome church here in Spring Hill, and it is so crazy what God has done in only 2 weeks, God has began to lead us to the people he wants us to be the light to. This is so new for me because Josh and I have always lived in this little Christian bubble, all our friends have always been for the most part like minded, listening to christian music, the works, and it has always been a safe place where God has truly grown us. This new season is so different, the Lord continues to lead us to the lost, the broken hearted, and to the seekers. In 2 weeks we have met all of our neighbors, not just the people who live right next to us but people who live all up and down our street, and others who live in our community. It is shocking to me that any of them would want to hang out with us , we are so different, but God is drawing them to us. I have been given eyes to see them and a heart to love them, I am seeing the almighty power of God.
So we went to Target last night to pick up a few things and we ran into to 5 people we now know, how great it is to be in God’s will, everything just seems to make since in life.
