It's about time...



Ok, so we have been meaning to start a blog for the longest time, but for some reason writing that first post always seemed so intimidating! Well, we've been in Austin for about six months now, and I've decided that it's now or never. So here goes!

For those of you who don't know our story, we moved to Austin for a two year residency to get some training in church planting. (Basically, starting a church from scratch). This means that in another year and a half, we will leave Austin and go wherever we feel the Lord leading us, hopefully with a team to work together with, and start a church. It will look very different then you may think, probably starting in our house and then spreading to other homes as it grows. It's a long, difficult process that absolutely requires tons of prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is why we want to start this blog. We want you to all be in the loop on what the Lord is doing while we are here, so that you can be praying for us and helping us as we set out on this scary but exiting journey! So I, well we, will be doing our best to post as often as we can!

As of right now we have no idea where we are going to go when we plant, so that is a definite prayer need! Please pray that the Lord will let us know where He wants us and that we will have no doubts in our minds that we are going to the right city! We will keep you all posted on our progress!

Thanks for your prayers!!
