2010: Looking Back to See What Is Ahead!
The year, 2010, was a very eventful year at the McBride house! Our daughter, Anna-Catherine, finished her year as a college sophomore and began her year as a college junior. In-between those milestones, she spent seven weeks in Cape Town, South Africa. Check out her blog, Awakened, to see how God worked and IS working in her life!
Shortly after the year began, God placed in my heart that the timing was imminent for Uniquely Woman to be published. I was thrilled when God not only opened that door but He literally paved the way for this Bible Study to begin making its way into the hands of women everywhere. I cried as my minister, Scott Hanberry, prayed for Uniquely Woman to reach around the world. My first quarterly report showed that several books were purchased in the UK! To God be ALL the glory!
Autumn of 2010 brought us into a bittersweet time in our lives as God placed it in our hearts to leave our church home of 29 years. This was one of the most difficult decisions we have ever made, to leave the church where Mark and I literally grew up in our marriage and our daughter grew up and was baptized. Those friends we left behind are still friends and we love them dearly. Many have shown tremendous support and stay in touch! God moved us to Longview Heights Baptist Church! We are incredibly happy there and we are already leading a Sunday school class of young married couples. I love getting to hear my ‘personal’ favorite Sunday school teacher, Mark McBride, each Sunday!
2011 has begun and God is already revealing some of what is ahead as I look back over this past year! So much in my life to be thankful for; God, family, friends, incredible church family, 23 amazing 2nd graders (one moved to Murfreesboro, TN, but he is still mine), precious co-workers! I could go on and on!
Sharing for Him!
