Has it really been almost a year since my last post? SO much has changed. I started my first full-time ministry position in July 2012. God has confirmed over and over that THIS is where are supposed to be. He is confirming my calling daily, and he has shown me strengths I didn't even know I had. I love the church where I work- the staff, the youth I minister to, and the church body. It challenges me and stretches me, while still allowing me to be myself and lead in the way God has called me. Micah finally found a job in our new town in December, and that has taken a lot of stress off him (and me). And...we got a dog! One of my coworkers found her outside the church. We had been wanting a dog, so I took her home to see if she fit with us while still trying to find her owners. No one ever claimed her, and so she is ours. She is the perfect dog for us- it's like she picked us :).

The past year has been so busy, stressful, and exciting! We love where we live and have enjoyed getting to know our new community. Friends have gotten married. Micah's sister had another baby, and both of my favorite cousins had baby girls in the fall.

Now it's March and things are moving right along. And now you are all caught up on my life and I can get back to my normal type of posts.

Until next time...
