God has blessed us so much! a week off together will be so good! after working 70+ hours a week for 5 months I am totally ready to chill with my incredible wife and reflect, regroup and get refreshed for the new season we are entering into!!!! - my 26th bday is tomorrow....pretty crazy! I am so blessed! God is so good! ...and another thing only God could do... - a few weeks into moving to the eastern shore God led us to dagsboro church of God! after a few weeks of being there God confirmed that this was the church we were going to serve in, grow in and grow with in this new season of our life! we have been serving on the worship team and getting to know our new church family! God has been doing alot in us during the last 5 months...but the newest blessing that God is opening up for us is....that as of the 1st week in september we are going to be serving as the new youth pastors at the church! what???? God....are u kidding??? well I could not make this up if I wanted to...God is doing something crazy in us! we are blessed, humbled and overwhelmed to have this oppurtunity! there is too much to write in blog...but let's just say God is doing alot! -and God gets all the glory! he is the only reason we have breath in our bodies...heart beats in our chest....he is the only reason we stepped out in faith and he is going to get all the glory as the lives of young people are impacted in and around sussex county! we feel such a crazy anticipation for what God is about to do...only God can do all that he is doing! ...so...thank you for praying...thank you for the encouragement...thank you for being a blessing...thank you for reading! there is so much more but this blog post is long enough! be encouraged!!
