Seasons of change...

With the new year came some change for our family...change is good, but change is hard. When you enter into a new season, led by the Lord...peace follows as you walk foward. The precious peace that passes all understanding is directly and so lovingly given by the Lord...our family experiences this peace.

My husband has obeyed God and resigned from his position as Youth Pastor. With this decision, which I whole heartedly agree with, comes a whole shift for our family. I am so blessed to be married to my best friend, who I see walk with the Lord in his decisions. I honor and respect him in this bold stand he took. I love him and thank God for all He has taught us both during this time.

I thank you readers, for those of you who know of the new journey we now enter, for your prayers and your support. We are enjoying what the Lord is teaching us and all He is doing in our lives because of this choice.

We love you all and continue to request prayer for the time that now follows, the adjustment period.

We rest in God's GOODNESS and thank Him for His WORD to us, which gives life and encouragement to our souls.

"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."
Hebrews 11:6
