First Steps...

On Sunday, April 29th, Randy and I had the priviledge of being back in Clermont, Florida at The Crossing Church to share more with our friends there about our story and God's redeeming work in our lives over the last few years. We had been a part of The Crossing Church since last August up until our recent move, and have so many friendships that we are missing very much, so it was great to be back among people we have come to love and appreciate so much over the last 9 months.

We are taking our first steps with Encounter. Getting to share more about our lives, our marriage, and our new ministry calling with our friends there was a great start to what God is calling us to do. We had many additional Clermont friends and business associates of Randy's join us on Sunday morning. We felt the hand of God over everything that happened our entire morning there. And we felt God's continued affirmation of our calling to use our story and our marriage to help others find hope that only comes through a relationship and dependence on Jesus Christ. So, we thank Him and praise Him for making Sunday morning His day!

We are currently living in North Carolina with my parents while we finalize details for a home in Birmingham. We will be here for several more weeks. We've had the craziest weather here - it went from 95 degrees to 65 degrees a few days ago and now we have 40 mph winds! Doesn't feel much like May today, but it should warm up by the end of the week and then we'll be longing for the cooler weather to come back! The boys are enjoying their time with Nana and Papa, and we are trying to find some "normal" pattern for life, while we're on week 4 of our "homeless" life. We were able to spend time at my sister's house in Tennessee before we came here, and enjoyed that so much too!

We're new to blogging, but would love to hear from anyone who takes the time to read the latest of our journey! We consider you all our partners in this new ministry. Thanks for doing life with us!
