New Beginnings


Have you ever had a crisis with your cell phone? It has probably been more than two months ago, in the dead of winter, that I made a fatal error. I left my cell phone in my car over night. Guess what? The crazy battery froze. Who even knew that this was possible? Anyway as a result of my carelessness I lost all of my contact information (boo+hoo=boohoo). If I had your number please do not think that I hate you. It was just an unfortunate event. This is a weak way for me to tell you I am sorry that I have not been able to share in your life recently. I know this is a crummy way for some of you to find out about my up coming plans but, I wanted to let you know. I also know that random people can stumble onto blogs but, it is ok with me if you keep readingJ. Many of you know that my location changed in October. I moved from Florida to Illinois to spend some time refocusing and reconnecting. God has been so good to me. I feel that He has allowed me to heal in many ways. For many months now a “door” has been ajar in my life. Then through a series of phone calls and a visit to a church in another state, I decided to move again. I am really excited about this new opportunity. It is my life goal to follow Jesus as closely as I can. I believe that He is going before me and with me.
I will be working closely with the pastor and his wife to reach the children of the community. I will also have the opportunity to work in the school that the church operates. I will be moving at the end of June.
Here is my e-mail address: rachelcryder@yahoo.com. I would love to here from you and answer any questions that you may have about this up coming change in my life.
