I’m Back!

It’s funny how the times in your life when you have the most going on, which means you have so much to write about–you have no time to blog about it. That’s how the past month has been. But here I am, back again, ready to continue my blog.

The recurring thought that has been going on in my mind this past month is how grateful I am to so many friends who helped us move. There were so many good friends in Alabama who helped us pack, load the truck and send us on our way. I miss you all dearly. So many people sacrificed their time to help us, and we had no way to repay them, because we’re no longer there.

And then when we arrived in Colorado, everyone here has been so helpful as well. We arrived to a newly renovated home, and many people helped us unload the truck (in less than 2 hours!).

Basically, we feel like everyone has given so generously to us during this time, and we have had no way of paying it back. It’s a very humbling experience. I just wanted to say thank you to so many friends and family members who have gone totally out of their way to help us. It has not gone unappreciated. Those of you in Alabama, we miss you and really hope that you are already making plans to come visit. Seriously!

Sarah Joy hasn’t arrived yet. We are expecting her any day now. When the big day happens, you’ll see pics here!

Speaking of pics, I am uploading some more pics from Colorado on my blog. They will be listed under the “Family Photos” link on the top menu of this blog.

Lastly, I wanted to let everyone know that I am experimenting with my sermon preparation as a new pastor. I have decided (at least for the time being) to write an original song that goes with the sermon I’m preaching. I’m doing this to help me focus my sermons and allow God to speak to me as I prepare them. I’m not using them in the worship service–they are meant to be useful for my sermon prep time. I’ve already written two. I will be posting these in posts to come.

Sorry for not being around for so long. Thanks for returning. I will be posting once again on a regular schedule like I did before moving, so keep checking back!
