The road, the door, the adventure


Big news for our family. We are moving. We have felt led by God to move to Gateway Woods in Indiana to serve as Alternate House Parents for the residential program. There is much that we will miss- family, friends, our house, comforts we’ve gotten used to- but there is much to look forward to. We are excited for this opportunity to serve together as a family. We know that there will be hardships as we step into the lives of these children, but we are so thankful that God gives peace and joy. We appreciate your prayers, love, and support.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.


The road ahead can sometimes look scary. God often takes us through doors we never planned. We feel peaceful that whatever way He takes us, He will provide for us and protect us. We know He has a purpose and a plan and if He takes us there, he means it for our good. So, I hope I can navigate the unknown, holding on to the peace that God has given, and enjoy every bit of the adventure. 


So. That's what we've really been up to the past few months.  Lot's of prayer and decision making. Lot's of house projects. A trip to Indiana for an interview.  Staging and listing the house.  We've been busy.

Someday, I hope to write up our full story.


And, hopefully, soon I'll fill in the past few weeks.


In Christ
