Thanks for the continued prayers and support you guys have been awesome. My mom is doing great and my family is doing well. My girls are amazing. They are the best girls in the whole world. I could not have asked for better daughters. They really have it together.
We are currently looking ahead to our church plant and are excited about what God is doing. He is bringing together a great launch team that has a passion to change this area for Christ. Please continue to pray for us as we begin a new chapter in our lives. We are beyond ecstatic and grateful for God's provision. He will supply all our needs above and beyond what we can comprehend.
It is amazing to see doors open where others had been shut. What the enemy meant to destroy us with God used for His Glory. My advise, keep your eyes on God because man will only let you down.......................
Thank you Father for showing us what real grace looks like and for being there to pick us up when we were down. I can honestly say you were constant in our lives you never left us and you never forsake us.

Gaining Perspecitive
It has been a long time since I have signed in. I needed some time to separate myself from everything that was happening and gain some perspective.
Things are finally settling down and returning to somewhat normal. I would say normal but I'm not a normal person so that would not be true.(lol) I wanted to thank everyone who has prayed and supported us over the last 4 months. I will admit it has been a difficult journey that we have not always handled well. When life changes sometimes and it changes in ways that you don't expect you kind of get lost in the process.
For years Jason and I have been in ministry and it has been our whole lives. it was devastating to wake up one morning and literally not have it. It kind of takes a little piece of who you are. It was hard to find my barrings and it was even harder to find myself. In some way my identity was wrapped into what we did.
When I lost that I felt as if I had lost myself. Of course I realize that who I am in Christ Jesus never changes but our perspective changes. I guess I should say how we view ourselves changes. I know today that we gain our confidence from Christ and I know that God loves us and wants what is best for us.
So even though men disappoint us and life changes God never changes. He remains the same. He remains constant in our lives and we are loving Him and serving Him on His terms now.
Once again thank you for praying for us it has been a long narrow road and a weary traveled one. We really do appreciate the prayers and the words of encouragement you have send our way.
God is not done with us and we know that in time God will heal and somehow use what the enemy has caused great pain with for His glory. God can turn around this situation after all we are all children of the most high.

What Ever Happened
What ever happened to the day when you could write a letter and that was enough? I miss the good old days when a stamp and envelop was necessary to communicate. As I enter into the world of the unknown I am attempting to sort out e-mails, my space, battle cry sites, and blogs. Who ever thought of the word blog? What is a blog and most important of all how do you do it? It sounds like such a strong word BLOG........ Oh yeah is it even ok to say the word blog?
If you haven't guessed yet I am seriously rebelling against the computer era or whatever it's called. As a mom, a career person, and of course a pastors wife I am asking myself where do you find the time? How do I manage my walk with Christ, my husband (if yours is anything like mine I am praying for you) LOL, and a family? I know I am not the only one with this scenario many of us are juggling many things. I wish I would have gone to college to get a degree in multitasking, circus training or better yet lion taming because sometimes we all feel like we joined the circus.
I guess you could say we are all human and maybe it's best to just laugh out loud, laugh at yourself or just plain laugh at a situation, after all God is in control.
