Wow, it’s been over 2 months since my last post. I guess you can say that things got a little busy with packing up and moving a few hundred miles. I think I’m finally settled at least enough that things are mostly normal.

The last few months have been nothing short of awesome! Have there been bumps along the way? Sure. There always are, but the awesomeness has been overwhelming. I want to thank each and every person who has prayed for me, encouraged me, helped physically move stuff and listened to me gripe and complain when things don’t go well (yes, I do my share of that even though I don’t like to admit it).

Here’s a quick recap of the last few months:

  • I made a visit to Seacoast back in late August, then again in October for CITRT. After lots and lots of prayer and changing my mind a few times, I felt the Lord leading me to take a leap of faith and move to SC to join the team at Seacoast. Yes, I’ll admit - it was scary. :-)
  • I returned to the Charleston area to look for houses. Amazingly, I found the perfect house the first day!
  • I had to say goodbye to all my awesome friends at JFBC. That was hard. To make it harder, they took me to lunch, got me a cool card, and had a “Going Away Party” for me.
  • I packed up to move. This was a LOT of work, but thanks to some great help, got it mostly done in one day.

  • Thanks to my Seacoast friends, we got everything unloaded in under 2 hours! 7 weeks later, I’m still trying to figure out what to do with all of it. :-)

  • Now I’m here, mostly settled in, and get to serve at an absolutely incredible church! I’m excited about what the coming months and years will bring!
