Wow. This has been quite a week….
First off, it is with excitement and pride that I announce that my wife now has a BLOG!!! I think she got the bug when she signed up for Facebook recently and now she is officially a blogger. I am both thrilled and disappointed. I am thrilled that the blog world will now get a glimpse into the life of the one that is the grace of my life. I’m disappointed because I just became the second best blogger in our household. That I am okay with though. Check out her new blog HERE.
Secondly, and I can’t find any other way to frame it…..
Our house went on the market yesterday with the intention of moving to Charlotte, North Carolina (specifically Huntersville). While I have written about 100 posts trying to put into finite words the ways and workings of an infinite God, I just cannot seem to do it. The story is long but exciting. The call is as real as real gets. The signs have been everywhere that now is the time. The overwhelming peace that has come to Heather and I has been straight from John 14:27:
“My peace I leave you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let you hearts be troubled and do not be afraid“.
While staying in the place we love and with the friends and community we lean on would be the safe thing to do. God has made it VERY clear that He is in control. He has removed the doubt and cleared the path as only He can. We just want to be obdedient. He deserves that much and will get all of the glory, honor and praise that He is due.
Stay tuned to my blog both of our blogs as the journey continues. It has already been an amazing ride. We love you all.
Thank goodness for peace. I was praying God would hit you with a 2×4 to get the message through to you. Now that would be a sign. Now pinto beans and cornbread will be your favorite meal just like me!!! Ha! Ha! Seriously, I know that this has been a struggle for you. I’m thrilled that you (and your family) know that this is where God needs you to be to do His will through you.
You have my blessing on this move as long as you promise to get me some tickets to Cameron Crazy land!
I had a feeling this would eventually be happening!!! We’re moving at the end of this month so will have to catch up again before you all leave!!
Mary –
Your comment to me once about Heather being the perfect Southern woman really stuck. After meeting some people at the church we attended there, your words came back to me. No doubt she will fit in just fine! Thanks for always supporting, praying and encouraging us.
Jeff – Count on it! Nothing would make me happier than you, me and Austin sitting court side at Bobcats arena while we celebrate UNC wrapping up ANOTHER ACC title by beating Duke! Clear your schedule my friend. It’s gonna happen.
Rindy – For some reason I might be one of the few people that didn’t ever think this door would open again. In ways that only God can, he not only opened the door, but pushed us right through it! We will certainly get together to celebrate “Walls Down Church” before we go. Skyline followed by UDF ice cream if I remember correctly???
