Revolution Church: My Texas Church Family

Last January, I made the decision to temporarily move to San Antonio to help my inlaws. My father-in-law had just been diagnosed with lung cancer and was getting weaker by the day. With no family around other than the immediate family, I knew I just had to go help.

Thank goodness we were homeschooling. I was able to pack up the boys in one day and head out the next. We only stayed in the house for a few days when we learned that my father-in-law could not be around the boys during chemo treatments. So, we became the "errand runners". And, we moved into a hotel....which lasted three weeks. However, the boys were so flexible! I could not believe it. We spent a lot of time at the park, children's museums, and playing in the hotel. We even got to see it snow.

My husband flew in from work a few weeks later, and we found a corporate furnished apartment to move into. It was such a blessing! However, as the weeks went on, we were hit with tragedy. Almost 3 months after we came to Texas, my father-in-law passed away. My husband stayed a few more weeks to help. I agreed to stay and help his mom with whatever came up. We kept the apartment so that we didn't crowd the house. (If you knew my two little boys, you'd know why! haha!)

But these boys were taking every step like true troopers. My oldest son was great, but you could tell he was missing friends at home at church. So I started visiting churches. Frustrated after a few visits, I found a website of a church that met at a gymnastics gym less than 5 miles from my inlaw's home.


It was Revolution Church. We were "bombarded" with love from the time we stepped out in the parking lot. JC loved the children's program! Micah even stayed in the nursery with no problems. (He has had his moments in nursery..haha!)

After the service, an angel, I mean, JC's teacher came running to me. She invited us to a small group meeting the next night at her home. Her family welcomed us in as if they had known us for years! JC was able to make friends who I know will be lifelong friends of ours. There were so many times during the two months we worshipped at Revolution Church that overwhelmed me.

There are so many I could name....Rick and Karyn, Zak and Amber, Micah, Connie, Krystal, Mary, Denise, David and Amanda, and so many more.....you will never know how much your love sustained us through that tough time.

We were truly needing the love of God drenched on us during that time. We were far away from our own precious church family in Mississippi....and you stepped right up.

No matter how far away we will, Revolution Church will always be our Texas church family!

May God continue to do a mighty work in all of your lives! We love you all!!!!!!
