Full Disclosure

...another house selling term I have come to know amidst all the paperwork we have been filling out as of late...

I wanted to update my stalkers on our new life change. Adam just accepted a call to be a part-time associate youth pastor (with a little bit of worship leader on the side) at Hope Lutheran Brethren Church in Barnesville, MN. So, that is why we have put an offer on a house in Barnesville and have listed our current house. As far as our house goes, we have had some positive showings, but no offers yet. We are leaving it in His hands because we know He has the perfect buyers in mind; ones that want an adorable starter home that is a great deal and move-in ready! Are you feeling the hard sell? Good! You need to buy our house!

So with the start date contingent on selling the house, Adam plans to go up there once a week besides Sunday to start hanging out and getting to know the youth of the church. This is such an exciting time for Adam and our family as he has felt a call to ministry for a long time. God had the perfect position all laid out for him, and we just had to be patient.

When we moved here to attend seminary, through an intricate grapevine, Pastor Rich heard that a new seminarian helped lead worship at Faith Lutheran Brethren Church in Cranston, RI. Barnesville Lutheran Brethren (their name at the time) needed someone to play a lead instrument. So he took Adam and I out to Subway and asked us to visit on Sunday. We were overwhelmed by the love we received as mere visitors that Sunday and were invited to lunch at one of the elder's houses. On the drive home we knew that we wanted that congregation to be our home church while in seminary. We attended for four years until the commute became too difficult for our family.

We have kept in contact especially with Pastor Rich and his family, and when the church saw the need to add an associate pastor, they thought of Adam. It is such a great thing that we already know many of the families, and that there are new young families that have started attending since we have been gone. So we are excited to not only serve our Savior, but reunite with our Barnesville brothers and sisters.

Praise Him for His blessing to us! So, my faithful stalkers, what can you do (besides buy our house)? Please keep us in prayer as we turn the page and enter a new chapter in our lives and spiritual journey with Christ AND come visit us at our new church home this spring!
