Long Overdue

I went to the library last week to check out some sweet reading material for Memorial Day weekend. That got me thinking about due dates and related things (can I really read four books that fast?) And I realized that my latest blog post is long overdue, so it's time to get to it. The last one (I love my husband) was typed the morning we had to share with Faith what we will be doing next. Today, 'next' is 'now' and that's why this post is long overdue, much like my library book will be if I don't finish reading them.

What an awful, wonderful day May 16th was. Awful because it was our official 'goodbye' and wonderful because we got to celebrate it with so many wonderful people and felt very affirmed from both our season at Faith and what God is calling us to next. We had to share in both services what is before us... I was going to write about that in the last post, but got side tracked during a discussion with Jer on how the first service went and what to tweak for the second service.

So you may be asking... what is next? I realize I haven't actually articulated it in a post yet, so here's the quick and dirty summary: Jeremy and I are pursuing planting a non-traditional church in Mound. Yep. Funny how God works. When I started this blog, we had been invited into the Storm church plant, which we are not pursuing. But through a series of divinely orchestrated events, God brought us to a place where we both feel completely and totally called to plant a church in Mound.
