Taking Stock

Kevy & I are once again at the place of assessing and re-assessing where we are at in life. I don't know about everyone else, but it seems as though we are always doing this. On the other hand, it also seems as though we are the only ones I know who are somewhat nomadic and who do things that noone else fully understands. But that's okay. I'm at peace with my life.....

Anyway, my apologies to my peeps who have left me phone messages as of late asking if I am dead and "why am I not returning any calls?" I go in phases of being really great at communication and then being quite wretched. These past few days, I'll admit my horrid-ness at it all. Biggest "sorry" goes to Esther for not getting back to you about Moxie. Sorry, girl. Hope your doggy found a nice babysitter this past week-end....

So, here we are.

Last Sunday, Kev announced to the church that as of May, he will be stepping down from his position as worship leader. Kind of a bittersweet decision - bitter in that we really love it and will miss it tremendously; sweet in that our ministry is growing like crazy, and he was finding it increasingly difficult to juggle both - not to mention the fact that we need the freedom to be able to be in other churches on Sundays, if need be.

So, as of next month, thus will end an 11 year run of working in a church for pay. Kind of crazy. All three of my boys have literally been raised in church where we practically live there on Sundays! They've all learned to nap wherever Mama lays them, and to get quite comfortable with the fact that we are often one of the first to arrive and just about always the last to leave.

It'll be strange. But it's good and it's right.

So, that's kind of the biggy. And now we're trying to figure out what this NEXT chapter of our lives is going to look like. Always chapters, always seasons. We've got training in May that's pretty big, we've got the whole school decision to make for Kaden, and we are in our final stretch of support raising. All exciting stuff, and all a little scary.

Change is good. Change is our friend. Change is good. Change is our friend.
