Changes

Sorry I have been away for quite a while. A lot has happened. Cayden is almost 4 months old, Mercie started kindergarten this week, and we no longer live in Spokane! God has moved us to Sumner, Wa. We were asked to be a part of a church plant in Bonney Lake around February of this year. We had been praying, and truly wanted God's direction. We started applying to jobs continuously for 5 months. Little things here and there opened up, but just wasn't "right". I applied for a "team apartment manager" position on Monday August 24th. That evening while we were "skyping" into the church plant meeting, we received an email that the hiring manager wanted to meet us. Ben spoke with him Tuesday afternoon, and that night we drove over and interviewed Wednesday morning. Out of all the things on our resume, he liked that Ben had worked at a church as he too was a pastor. The situation was so out of our comfort zone, but God's fingerprints were all over it. On Sunday, August 30th we got the call we were hired and going to start in a week! BTW our lease ended August 31st. So here I sit, with the first service of Open Life starting tomorrow morning. I can still not believe that everything fell into place, and at the perfect time. There is so much more to share, but dinner is ready and it has been a long week. I will post some updated pictures soon of Cayden and Mercie on her first day. God is so good!! Very excited for this new adventure.
