Well, I think it is safe to say most know now that our family is moving. Shaun officially gave his resignation today @ church, and we spoke with the students on Wednesday. It is hard to believe this is all really happening. I mean I knew it was, but I guess I haven't let it completely sink in until now.
I think I am at a bitter sweet moment. While very excited to move to a new church family and youth ministry, it is hard saying good bye to everyone here. Our students have touched us in a way they will never fully understand. I feel I have learned so much from them. They truly show Christ in their lives. They thirst for Him like I havent seen many do.
God has been so good to us! He allowed us the pleasure of working with these students, and now He considers us worthy to serve Him in Lewisville. I admit it scares me a little to think of living in the metroplex. I never thought I would. And now I am like a giddy little kid who is totally excited to see what is in store for us. Southside Baptist Church is a phenomenal church. They have loved us, encouraged us, prayed for and with us and been a huge support in our lives. They have been there since Jarrett turned 1, we lost our pregnancy, students' lives changed, and much much more!
But I am ready for what God has in store for us next. I have always told Shaun I wanted to live somewhere we stayed so that Jarrett could grow up in one place. I truly believe we have that opportunity now. We are committing to Northview-we want to see all the amazing things God will continue to do. And we are looking forward to this next chapter in our lives. But Southside will always have a special place in my heart-and I look forward to keeping in touch with everyone from here on out.
I still don't believe it. I think it's some mean trick you are playing on me. :) LOL! This has been an amazing journey to literally watch the Lord unfold right before your eyes! He opened the door when you weren't looking and took care of all the loose ends when you were... He is awesome! I am SO excited to get to be closer to you guys... but I am MORE excited to see the amazing ways He uses you here!
