Over the last few months, we have been really trying to hone in on our vision as a family and stay focused on growing in our relationship with Jesus. At the same time, we have been trying to decide whether to buy a house or not. We began saving money last year and are in a position to make our first home purchase. But over the last couple months, Crystal and I both felt the need to put our home search on pause and simply realign ourselves with God's plans.
As I was meditating one morning, I sensed God prompting me to look into a program that I had heard about nearly two years prior. When I first heard about it, I didn't even think twice about it, because the program was offered at a church in South Carolina. But as God has changed our hearts and life situation, it suddenly had a different impact on me. To make a long story short, I told Crystal about it. We then prayed about it and both felt an enormous amount of peace and excitement about this opportunity.
Fast forward a couple weeks and we have officially made the decision to move our family from the Bay Area to Anderson, SC to be a part of NewSpring Church. Currently, I have applied for the apprenticeship program and just received word that I've been selected for an interview in July. Crystal and I believe that God has called us to this point in our lives and is leading us into South Carolina. We believe that God will allow us to be a part of this program, and we have made the decision to move to Anderson either way.
This is a really exciting time for us and we are trusting God to continue to lead the way. We plan to use this site as a way to update you on our journey. So if you're interested in keeping up with us, then join us along the way as we follow God's lead across the country.
We'll be in touch!
