On the road again...


To quote The Littlest Hobo:


"Maybe tomorrow I'll wanna settle down, until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on..."







Ok, so its not exactly what I was looking to say, but I think of this show everytime I move to a new place. I think its because I often feel like The Littlest Hobo; moving from place to place, doing what God has for me to do there and moving onto the next place. Maybe it is fitting!

If you haven't figured it out, I am moving....again.
I'll be completely honest with you in saying that I'm looking forward to the actual moving part the least. I do enjoy change and am accepting it; just wasn't expecting it.
Where am I moving, you ask? Hartford Connecticut. You can see a picture of its skyline above.
I have never been there, but God has placed it in my lap(seriously!), so who am I to say no?!
Along with the move comes a new job. My title: Divisional Youth Ministries' Coordinator. Sounds so official, I know. A title is just a title, that doesn't mean much to me. Its what comes along with the job that I am excited about - discipleship, leadership, administration, camp!
Its going to be different and its going to be a challenge.
I am excited and ready for this, and to see how the Lord will play everything out. His hand has guided the whole decision making process, and when I say it fell into my lap, I feel as though I mean that literally. I am happy where I am and was not looking for something new - however, God knew His plans for me and how He wants to use the gifts He's given me. This is definitely the next step in His life plan for me.

I will pass along a address and new number once I know them. In the meantime, pray that this transition goes smoothly, that everything in Bangor remains grounded in the Lord and that my current roommate will be able to work something out quickly.
Blessings.

Denise! I was popping in to pass some love to you, and you're moving! Wow! To Connecticut!! (WOW, I can't spell Connecticut - had to check what you wrote!) You need to find our Jane - Jane Bell - doesn't she live in Connecticut? If you see her, please give her my love, too. And may the Lord bless you and refresh you and may everywhere your seeds have been planted have been fertile ground.

Love you!
