A time away from this genre has accomplished many things in our live. Starting with another move!! Yes, here we are now in Jensen Beach, Florida, not 500 yards from the intracoastal.
God sure has chosen a beautiful place for our new porch view.  He has brought us here to be closer to Adam and Melanie and the boys!! Super excited to see how this new chapter will unfold. We are keeping our eyes on Him as we take this exciting path.
To sit now with my new view and all around are new smells and sounds.  The scent of the ocean on the evening breeze. The beauty and simplicity of the sunrise, that only our Creator can make. The opportunities to grow and learn so many new and wonderful things.
The challenges I share, because all of us have at one time or another faced or will face them are:  leaving friends and family.  This move does not diminish our love and prayers for all those who are no longer "near by." Leaving an amazing church family that is not afraid to preach the word of God and do it with love and grace.
We face finding another home church, knowing that process is just that and we will find just the right church at just the right time.  We have been blessed to have experienced what a great church is and thus are equipped to discern what our next one should look like.
This has been quite the exercise on letting go, of complacency and of fear.  We walk the path that is lit for us, and is it bright!
I am renewed daily by His word and comforted in times of feeling like a fish out of water, that He is always with us no matter where we are.
