Well the last few weeks have been non-stop and much change has been taken place. I start a volunteer internship at Celebration Church on Tuesday of this week. This is a big change for us. I am moving to part time at faithHighway, which means half the time = half the pay. We are trying to get the rest of the Church bank account and the online donation stuff settled so that we can raise some necessary support to help us through the internship. We believe strongly in this step before we launch out and move to Ohio.
We will be the first to do something like this with Celebration Church. It is a priveledge that they are working with us on this. Celebration is in the top 50 fastest growing churches in America (according to Outreach Magazine). The leadership, structure, preaching, and overall DNA is amazing! This is a place that upon walking in the front door the first time (and pretty much ever since) I found myself saying, "This is what I have been looking for in a church, but didn't know existed". We felt like we learned more about what a church is supposed to be and how it should operate in the first three months just attending than in all the bible school and churches we have been a part of up until that time. We are excited to be a part of the team and do what we can to bless the church while we are here and in return we believe that the seed sown and the time spent will be an invaluable part of what God has for us in the future.
This is a scary time in a lot of ways, but at the same time we know that we are right in the middle of the will of God for our lives. God has taken us on an incredible journey in a lot of ways and no mater where you go or what the situation looks like, He is always in control! There is a great peace that comes from knowing that you are following His plan. Nothing else really seems to matter. A great part as well is that my oldest son is now at the age (10 years old) where he can understand what we are doing and why. We get the wonderful opportunity to allow him to see God work miracles in our lives through faith. I want him to see first hand how much we love God and how great God's love is toward us.
