We desire to seek out where God is working and join him there. The chance to relocate, start fresh as a married couple, join a thriving community that is living out the gospel, to find a "launching pad" of sorts for us to get overseas-- these are all things we have been spending months praying for.

I personally feel that through this move, with all its change, I will grow so much greater than if I remain still.
I am so bad at this blogging business. It took me four days to peck this out on my keyboard! I hear it gets better with practice. Please join us in praying for this time of change in our life. We appreciate you!
