Life As We Currently Know It.

As some of you know we are in the midst of major life change again. No, I am not joking, I am serious...again. Jared had found a great job doing landscape stuff here in Yakima and was really loving the physical work and doing a job where he could actually SEE what you are doing in a tangible way and then poof...the job was gone. Nuts. Suddenly his boss couldn't afford to keep him with some of his clients needing to scale back on their services.

So, praise God Jared had already been pursuing a few church leads prior to this happening and already had some visits with churches lined up. Sadly, we just made a trip to Kansas City and after learning more about the church Jared had to decline that job offer. That was a big disappointment because we would have loved living in KC, Kansas for a lot of reasons.

Please pray for us, as we head into a few weeks of definite unknowns and uncertainties in many every area of our lives! Our house is on the market and that is of course a slow process right now. We are trusting in the Lord that His timing will work out and we will be able to look back and see how His sovereign hand was moving in our lives - regardless of whether is will be an easy road for us or not.

We will be heading to a church in Atlanta in a few weeks (literally the opposite side of our nation) and we are hopeful and anxious about that trip. Not the location that we would hand pick for our family, especially with little kidos, but we are willing and ready to move if that is what God calls us to do. Pray that we would have the strength and joy to do whatever God has for us next.

We will be praying! In many ways, we are totally where you are...trying to be patient and discern where God wants us! It's difficult to wait, though.

Atlanta is a great city, for the South. There is so much history and so many things to do! I actually know a few people there. My brother Tim is there in seminary, and we have really great family friends who live there. And...my parents are only two hours away in Chattanooga. If you end up moving there, you can use my parents as
surrogate grandparents. =) They'd love it!

Hang in there! Love ya!
