I vote YES!
So, what's all the hype? I have been shown time and time again who my pastor is. Here is my story, I was tired of church. I felt guilty for having my kids out of church for so long, so I decided to give West Rome Baptist one more try. We came in 10 years since the last time we had been there, knowing this would be the last time. I came in to a different pastor, different music, and by different I mean wonderful, and different people. We were all welcomed with open arms which was a great relief because at the time my mom was dying. I was made to feel like I mattered, people cared we were there, and we could see God all in the Church. We could see Christ through the people who loved on us. Not long after we had been coming, Jarrod, Tiffany and girl's showed up at one of the kids ballgames (who does that?) it was amazing to me that people would care so much about our family, just to treat us like we were part of theirs. Needless to say they have come to many ballgames, loved on us, suppported us and they may not even know it but it was at a time, I was feeling all alone since I didn't have my Mom anymore. So, yes my vote is yes on whatever needs to be changed to move forward, I don't really care what it is.... All I know is Jarrod has been called by God to lead people to Christ in Rome Ga, and I trust him. We don't have much time left in this crazy world so I say let's just quit wasting time, and get to working on what we are called here to do, and that my friend is Love on everybody, and lead people to know God! That's all I really have to say about that!!!

I feel the same way you do, It has meant so much to me to have you and your family and Jarod and his family and the whole church for that matter, I was feeling lost and didn't know if church was something I wanted to try again and then when I did and all of you were there to say hi and just make me and my family feel like we are apart of yours made me feel whole again, I Love Jarod he is such a great person who has helped me and Adam to belive in the whole church relationship and all of that I did lose God for a bit and when I came to XL and West Rome My faith was brought back to me in a way I don't think i can ever tell you. But I Love you and Thanks so much for making me feel wanted.
What are you waiting for? - another great song for an awesome blog! I am so excited the wait is almost over and then one way or another we get to get on with reaching Floyd County. Sometimes it's that final chance you give something or someone that is the one that makes the biggest changes in our life. Emma being in my Sunday School class gave me an immediate love for her and then to get to meet the rest of the family has been blessing after blessing mixed with a whole bunch of laughter! Always know we love each and every one of you and are there for anything you need. (And Jennifer if you ever return to read comments - I've only physically stood beside you to pray one time at XL but have prayed for you often. It thrills my and Jarrod's heart to see you and Adam serving the Lord. Your awesome!)
AMEN Sista!!! Sometimes when you already know...it's hard waiting....God showed me and my family a longgggg time ago who our pastor was...Amazing that he can even speak it to you before you know you are going to need a pastor...but that is where I am. I can't fret over the small stuff but only pray for the continued will of God to be walked out. I'm constantly amazed at what God is doing at WR and thru JR at our church....That is why I was there sunday and wouldn't have missed it for the world. I CAN'T WAIT!!! God is AWESOME!!! Jenn GLenn
I'm not a member of West Rome Baptist Right now but it is because of Jarrod's preaching and he hits my heart in places I thought were lost forever that I keep coming back to hear the word of God, I am grateful to Craig, Mandi and Jonathan for keeping after me and Jack to come to XL and Craig and mostly Mandi to come to West Rome Jarrod Hit the nail on the Head Easter Sunday with his message. He was right on target, thank God, for Jarrod and Tiffany I love both and their Daughters.
