MOVING.......Again.

So it seems as we are coming close to August again that we are moving...again.  To be honest this is getting quite old as we have not been at one location or had one mailing address for more than a year since we've been married.  Now to some people this would sound awesome as you would get to move around a lot.  However when you're actually doing it, IT STINKS!!  It's hard to establish relationships when you're doing this and it's difficult to get any kind of patterns or have normalcy at all.  Now of course normal is a conditional word, however I'm just saying that you never feel settled. 



BUT, there's always a but, this time is going to be different.  The reason we're moving is because of an opportunity to serve Jesus.  Mindy and I have been offered a couple of positions that will allow us to continue serving Jesus as itinerant evangelists but also serve as a Director of a day care and a Pastor of Student Ministries and Outreach.  We are more than excited about this chance to minister in such a unique way.  We had already agreed in coming to the church for an internship for a month.  We just wanted to be used and seeing as we had no meetings for about a month we thought it best to go somewhere and serve.  We never dreamed that it would turn into something so huge and awesome!  

It's kinda funny because since we were going there already as interns it has turned into a month long orientation.  As we are preparing to start our "internship" we are noticing that little pieces are falling into place to make all of this happen which can only be defined as God moving.  So as we enter into another season of Moving.....Again, we embrace it.  Hopefully God doesn't have a sick sense of humor and move us again in a year, but if He does that's ok too.  We want to make this next move our last for quite some time and hopefully have a family in our sights.  No we're not looking to start one just yet so all you people saying that we're getting the baby fever need to just back off with that crazy talk!

Please be praying for us that God will use us in a mighty way and that His unction and power will be present and evident in our hearts!  I can truly say I am excited to go there and just love on some people.  I want to love them to the point they can't help but see Jesus and the Agape that He is!  There are some things that will be a challenge, especially at first, but for some reason there is an overwhelming peace in the midst of it all.  I'm thankful that we serve a God who is peace and when we pray for that He becomes it!  Jesus be a mighty force in the upcoming days and draw me in closer to Your will.  Thanks for moving me.....again!
