Funny that I am writing this blog... I never thought
that I would be so involved in a church that I would be asked to write a blog
for their women’s ministry. Even more of a surprise to me is that my family is
alongside me in this wonderful church we call our family.
I have always been a daddy’s girl (still am really). I grew
up with Christian parents. My dad was Catholic and my mom was Methodist. We
went to a Catholic Mass on Christmas and Easter every year. When my sister and
I were old enough to drive we started attending church on our own. Our mom
joined us soon after. The three of us started seeing the transformations God
was making in our lives. Soon after experiencing God’s forgiveness and grace,
my sister and I decided to get baptized. This was my dad’s first time to walk
into our church home. A few weeks later our dad decided to come try out the
church for a service. The pastor seemed to speak to my dad this Sunday, and my
dad started attending every Sunday after.
This was a huge start!!!
A few years later, I met the man I now call my husband.
Again, God amazed me at how he could soften a man’s heart just by praying for
them! Before I knew it, both of the men in my life had joined small groups. I
was in awe of the transformations God was making in my father, my husband, and
myself. Soon, we all ended up here at CrossPoint Church. Now we are all active
members and loving it!
This season of my life is about recognizing how far my
family has grown together. It is about being grateful for the smallest of
things (like seeing my dad set up signs on Sunday mornings.) It is about
developing a home with my husband that shows what my amazing family has grown
to be. It is about showing thanks to God for transforming my family into loving
servants!
My name is Rachel Sanders, and I am a CrossPoint Woman!
