Florida?

So many of you who have been reading

my blog for the last few

months know that 

my amazing fiancee Jason 

is a juggler.

In fact, 

when he knew that he

wanted to get to know me 

better he decided to ask me to be 

his juggling manager

because he wanted to get a business going.

When I asked him why me

he told me 

it was because

I was

"honest and likable"

and goofy me went away 

from that thinking

I wonder if he likes me?

Ahem.

Many of you also know

that in January

(after we got engaged)

we went to Florida for the

American Gospel Tour.

What many of you do not know 

is what the Lord 

did while we were in Florida 

and how it is and will

change our lives.

Jason and I 

had been wondering

if the Lord was going to direct

us into ministry

while in Florida.

So when you think of Florida 

what comes to mind?

How about this: 

 Sunshine.

Blue skies.

Lush Palm Trees.

 Amazing Beaches.

 

Did I mention

sunshine 

and 

amazing beaches?

That my friends is Key West, Florida.

That was what

Jason and I thought the Lord

would place on our

hearts for a ministry.

However.

He did not.

Did I mention

God's ways 

are not

our ways?

He did place an area 

on our hearts.

But it was not what we expected.

Instead of green

it is brown.

Instead of lush palm trees

there is moss.

The area itself is

somewhat run down

and so quiet.

There are hundreds of people in 

hundreds of trailers

,yet, 

it is silent.

Almost like a ghost town.

Waiting.

Expectant.

Welcome to a little place called Summerfield.

The picture above shows the church

that we ministered at

on our way down to Key West.

Notice the spanish moss.

And the brown.

Lots of brown.

The place two 20 year olds would

say lets move here?

Um.

No.

The place the

God of the universe

would say

move here?

Yes.

(yes there is golf cart parking  at walmart for the 70,000 retirees!)

We are moving to Florida to help a church.

Our goals are to

bring honor and glory

to Jesus Christ

first and foremost.

Second. we want to encourage the saints

that have been so faithful even

through some trials the church

has had to endure.

Third, we have a burden and a vision.

For the community.

For the people.

For the youth.

Before I get into that though-

This picture is my parents and a wonderful
couple from our church that
invited us to come to
their winter home
in Florida and were God's way
of opening the doors
for us to be able to speak at their church.
The Lord used them to bring us to where
we believe He will have us
minister there.
How long?
We really aren't quite sure yet.
But we are excited to see what the Lord will do
as we strive to bring
honor and glory to Him.
So when will this all be happening?
Well, sometime around
the 3rd week in June :)
Prayers would be so appreciated for us
in the upcoming few weeks
and for our time
down there.
I will be managing Jason's
juggling business once again.
We are hoping that because their is
a very large community
of retiree's so
hopefully we will be able to
,not only build a
sucessful business,
but also really be able to minister
to the entire community
and bring the love
of Jesus Christ
to every person we come in contact with.
If any of you want

SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT
THE LORD HAS IN STORE :) :)
