Ahh..finally

The Cat is out of the bag.

We told, the youth and the young adults, that we are leaving for Texas at the end of December.

That is the Epic Journey that we (my wife and I) are partaking on.

A big step, but I feel its truly God, this is the second time, I've left a church, and it probably won't be the last time, both being God moving us.

The Story:

When my wife, and I went to Texas over the summer (for vacation), we loved it, we were at peace, and joyful. God starting something in my heart that we needed to stay there. When we got back to STL or STC, I felt I was not "fitting" into the young adult position that I held at the church, I felt out of my calling. You see, I was called to be a youth pastor, but my overwhelming passion to just minister to people took over, and I took the position. While I felt like God wanted me to do that, perhaps even to find out that this isn't my calling, which is not a bad thing.

I felt like God was really speaking into my heart, that this wasn't my calling. I've been wrestling with God about it the entire summer, and up until October.

I was waiting for the Dew. Gideon asked God if it was really you (GOD)to put dew on the mat and no where else, that happened, then Gideon asked God to put the dew everywhere else but the Mat, that happened. Gideon moved.

That is what I was waiting for to happen is for God to speak. He did in a huge way. God confirmed stuff in my life left and right. I talked to spiritual mentors, and others and they were all at peace with the situation, with us leaving.

At the end of October after a long walk, God finally broke it down. He wanted to us resign at the end of November, and move to Texas.

The end of November will be my last day as the young adult intern/pastor/director, then I am taking a break to pack our townhouse and head to Texas at the end of December, mainly staying for the holidays.


I'm excited, scared, and there is a lot of other stuff going on in my life, like my mom freaking out...or shall I say, spazzing out, more like frepazzing out.

Its good to get this out, and people are starting to know about it, the weight is off right now, and I'm happy for what God is doing.

I spoke my testimony not to long ago and its good to take a step back and too see God's hand in it all. God is good.

Now, we get to move to Texas, with no jobs, out of our comfort zone and really start over. I'm looking forward to what God has in store for us and what He has for me down there, perhaps its full time ministry, perhaps not. God knows, and I know God will not abandon us.
