  • Moving to West Virginia

    I just wanted to take a moment to share what God is doing in our ives right now. AS many of you know Jason and I have been serving in a church plant here in Springboro, Oh. We have loved our time there...the youth and the praise team are amazing! But for the past 3-4 months we have both been feeling a stirring in our hearts that it was time to move on and to leave the area...we just didn't know where we were being called to. In that time we have been praying and looking at Southern Seminary. For a time we thought that made sense to go there, so we began to take the steps needed to go there. But after being at the Global Missions Conferece at Urbancrest Jason felt led to send his resume out to some places. We both were praying about the kind of church we wanted to be at and came up with three issues that were a must for us to go and serve there. On our way to Southern Seminary for the Preview weekend, a pastor from a church in Huntington called Jason and wanted to meet right away, so on our way to Southern we detoured to Lexington and had dinner with the pastor and music minister. Through the course of the conversation we discovered this church had all the things we were looking for ~ it is a church with a vision and a passion to reach others. Jason and I left that meeting knowing that we were called there and it was where God ws leading us to go. Over the past month or so we ahve been through the "interviewing" process and all that. This past Sunday, June 8th (our 6th year anniversary), Jason was voted on to be the Minister of Students at Highlawn Baptist Church with a 100% vote. We were amazed by God and His goodness. So we will be moving to Huntington, West Virginia in a week and a half. Jason and I will go out there for part of next week (June 16th) for their VBS and for me to connect with schools, then we will have our last Sunday at South Valley on the 22nd and move the 23rd or 24th. So in a whirlwind of time and emotions we close out our time here and begin our new ministry in Huntington. Please pray for us as we make this transition.

  • 32 years...

    So far I am enjoying my fall break...2 weeks away from school and home with Cole...its the best birthday present I could get!! Today is my 32nd birthday...so hard to imagine that I am 32 now...I always imagined that at 32 years old I would be a matured woman...who is settled and able to carry on the responsiblities of a mother and wife with grace and ease...but instead I still feel like an unsure, immature 23 year old...with little clue of what I am doing or how to do what I am doing...I feel clueless on how to be the wife and mother I know I need to be...I watch my mom and wonder how I'll ever be like her...able to handle the world...I know that at my age she was full of confidence and at ease with her roles as mom and wife...and I am still constantly asking her how to do the simplist of tasks...but I know that I love my family and they appear happy...so I guess I am not doing too bad... At the same time I am marveled at this gift of life that God has given me...I was suppose to be dead before I was 30...so every year I have is a gift...I just pray that i can make these next 32 years truly count for the Lord...that I can be passionate about serving Him fully and completely...much more than I have in the past...Lord restore my passion and my love for You...thank you for my life...I want it to really be an expression of worship to You...
