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
we went to Florida for the
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
to keep up with
Jason the Juggler

14 more days!
SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT
THE LORD HAS IN STORE :) :)
