A lot is set to change in the next couple of weeks. New church, new city, new home, new job, new almost everything. This change has been in the works for the past few months, but in just a few days my wife and I will start a whole new chapter of our lives together. As we prepare to move on I find it a great opportunity to look back at the chapter that is closing a thank God for the way that He has worked.
As of this past week Sarah and I have been able to celebrate my graduation from college, our one year wedding anniversary, and the announcement of a new addition to our family. We praise God for His sovereignty! There is no way that we would have chosen this time in our lives to be expecting a baby, but God is omniscient and knows what is best for us, even if it does seem to be a bit challenging. Philippians 4:6-7 are verses that have been good reminders that through our communion with God, we are given a peace that doesn’t make sense given the situation. We have many reasons (humanly speaking) to worry and to fret, but we have an even greater reason to simply rest in the promises of God. We know that we are in His will and we know that He will glorify Himself through the circumstances that we encounter.
In three days we will begin a trip that will cover almost half the country on our way from Northern Wisconsin to Southern California. We will be taking up a new ministry opportunity there with a small local church. We are excited to see what God will do in the next few years.
