I never thought I'd go anywhere really...

But when Josh and I started praying that God would open the doors he wanted us to walk through and close the ones that He didn't, we knew it meant we would actually have to WALK through the open door - not just turn and run the other direction.

With that in mind we want to share that we have accepted a position at a church in Frankfort, Indiana. Josh will be taking over the duties of leading worship at the Nazarene Church there in Frankfort. I cannot tell you how excited we are! For anyone that knows me, you will agree that I am not a "leap of faith" person, but throughout this whole process I have felt nothing but calmness and excitement over the possibilities that this job has to offer us. Even though I officially turned in my letter of resignation today, have a house to get ready to sell, and no job opportunities yet I am not nervous or anxious - which is a huge answer to prayer. We both firmly believe that this is the right decision for our family and are thanking God for his peace throughout this whole process.

It is all very strange how this all happened (well maybe not when you consider how small the Nazarene world is). Josh got a call out of the blue from the Pastor in Frankfort...who just happened to have started his ministry here in Adrian (weird!), after talking on the phone, Josh travelled to meet in person and then a few weeks ago we both went back and Josh led worship on a Sunday morning. We went back again this weekend and Josh was able to lead their praise team and we also had an official interview with the church board.

The whole process has not felt rushed or hurried at all (although it does seem to have happened quickly) and we both felt very positive early on that this was the right place for us.

So, now the work begins - sprucing up the house here, sprucing up the house there, quitting jobs (we both have given our notices), and all the stuff that goes along with moving. Oh wait, I don't know what goes along with moving because I've never done it before...Any suggestions let me know!

We would still appreciate your prayers as we continue on in this process, it's not something we have ever done before and would like as much support as we can get as we jump into this next phase of our lives.

I will try to post more on here so that we can keep everyone up-to-date with moving details and also some pictures of where we are going.
