A Five Minute Update...

I could never be an atheist. Not that I’ve ever considered it, but if something catastrophic ever happened in my life, I would have no choice but to look at this season of my life and know that there is a God and He loves me and is constantly working on my behalf. I'm too excited not to find at least five minutes to share about all that He is doing in our lives....

Last I wrote, I had sprained my ankle, had a week to move out of my house and was a project manager over a huge church launch… so here’s the scoop…

1. My ankle is better. I was unable to wear heels on the big church launch day, but I managed to pull together the perfect outfit for such a special day anyway.

2. Speaking of the church launch, we had a PHENOMINAL turn out. Because me and Seth are both on the administrative and Pastoral staff of this new church branch, we have pretty much been waiting for this day for over a year now and it came and went without one major hiccup! We are SO excited about seeing God move throughout the next several years. We started off with two services because our new sanctuary only holds 250 and we didn’t want to take any chances. Well, it’s a good thing that we took the risk because we had a combined total of 527 people in attendance on our very first Sunday. I led worship along with my team and Seth had 40 youth that showed up to the youth service Sunday night. We already had to expand the parking lot this week and there is already talk of a third service! We knew God wanted to do big things, but wow… this blew our mind! We are waiting in great anticipation for this Sunday as we take on our second service!

3. WE FOUND A HOUSE! A really big and awesome house… that’s only .25 miles from the new church branch! With gas prices being ridiculous. This was a huge added bonus. The house is 3 bedroom 2 bath, 2 car garage, new covered back patio, whir pool bathtub in the main bath, big closets, all new kitchen updates, new carpet, the entire house has updates all over it from windows to flooring…. It has just been huge blessing that literally fell right in our laps! The house wasn’t even on the market when we first went to look at it, and now we will buying it and moving in it in 30 days! It is much bigger and nicer than we could have imagined. Me and Seth both agree that it is a house like you would live in with your parent’s as a teenager, not as a newlywed couple who has been married for less than a year. God just continually opens doors before us and provides and with or without the favor from Him, we’ll follow Him forever and live our lives to glorify Him!

I will have pictures ofthe church and the new house soon!

That’s all of an update I have time for right now. I love you all and can’t wait to get the phone call that I have a handsome new baby boy cousin. (Praying for you Katy!!!...and Stu!)
