finding joy in the chaos

Well friends, since coming home from the hospital, life has been anything but average, as usual.

My days have been filled long days at work, tough health declines, meetings, snow, decision making, and lots & lots of packing.

That's right; what you've heard is true. We're moving! Due to personal family matters, we are packing up and moving to Sioux Center. We are very excited to embark on this new season in our lives. But along with much excitement, there is also a lot of stress, anxiety, and just all-around not knowing where to start.

Really, though.
Moving just downright SUCKS.

But what does this mean for the future?

As you may know, I was planning on moving down to Kansas City this summer and the attending IHOPU- International House Of Prayer University, in the fall.. But sadly that has been on hold for 3 or 4 years.

With all of the chaos going on in my family, I feel that I need to stay where I am for a few years just to give my family a little bit of stability. Although I find it sad, I find joy in the fact that I will get to spend time with my little brother as he goes through high school.

In the mean time, I am going to continue at my job (which I love), adjust to my new community (which I also love), do an internship through ATLAS of Sioux Center, lead worship here & there, and praise my Lord and Savior in all that I do.

Amidst all of the sadness and chaos the past few months and the next few months hold, I find such joy in the thought of new beginnings.

Thanks to all of our friends for supporting and loving on us through this all.

xoxo,
