Changes

If you've followed our journey, you know we've taken a break from Pastoring. Almost 17 years. Countless lives and beautiful souls we have been blessed to be connected to. 

There is a season for everything. 

Lots of changes in our lives the past few years. 

2 cross country moves, job changes, school changes for the kids. 

Changes. Some hard on the heart. Some good for the soul. 

Regret can keep you up at night if you let it.

Relationships unraveled. New friendships began. 

We are settling into this new life. We moved somewhere that very few people knew us. A fresh start. A clean slate. Hearts are healing. Joy is returning. 

Through it all I can say there are a few things I'm certain of...

People will let you down. Why? Because they're human. Because they are selfish and self centered most of the time. Myself included. 

We all need forgiveness. We all screw up and we all need grace. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone....

God is faithful. He restores and He makes new. Even the most hopeless and worst of situations. 

Marriage is beautiful. In all its gritty, ugly, messy glory. It's worth the blood, sweat and all those tears. It's worth it all. 

He's not finished with me yet. Though I get frustrated... Yes, I've questioned God. What is going on? What does the future look like? Why why why.....I believe- It's ok to question things at times, but not his heart. I trust Him. He's working out a greater glory in me. 

Everything changes. I struggle with change, I love being comfortable. But that's just not Gods way. So I'll embrace the change, and trust the One that sends it. And I'm choosing to dream again.
