The rumor is out so I figured its time to let you all know that we are moving!
We are actually moving out of Las Vegas... and heading over to Henderson!
Now that I got your attention, and maybe scared you a little bit, I can let you know the facts about the move. Charity and I have been praying for about two years that we could move into a bigger place than we currently live. I tend to fall into the American trap and say things like: "Our condo is so small." or "I need more room."
When I actually take the time to step back, and slow down, I realize that I have a beautiful little condo. I realize that I don't need more room but that I would like more room. I would love it for the girls to have their own bedrooms but in reality they like to sleep in the same room. I want an office to do my seminary work at while at home (its tough on the kitchen table). I would love to have a garage to store our seasonal items but we just don't have that where we currently live.
So through all our prayers, and my whining, God has answered our prayer to bless us with a bigger place to move in to. We are pretty stoked to have a guest room (slash office) for our friends to be able to stay in when they come to town. I'm excited for the girls to have the loft to use as a play room. I am really excited to have a little backyard where we can BBQ and play with the girls outside. I am more excited to have a place where we can have people over and it wont interfere with the girls taking naps or sleeping. We can hang out with people at night, do ministry, and our girls will hopefully not be bothered.
These are just a few things that make me excited about our new place. Now we aren't buying the place. We are actually short selling our condo (and I would like to blog on that in the future) so this has been a long prayed out process in our lives. Will you please join us in prayer as our move gets closer? Please pray that our new home will be a place of ministry and life change for all that enter and that God will guide our thoughts and action in that home to honor Him!

We've definitely BTDT, and I will absolutely be praying for you guys. Once I stopped looking at the situation as "what I will gain", but rather how can we use a bigger place to serve God and all He has to offer, the ball began rolling faster. I will admit though... now I wonder if life would be easier in a smaller place! lol
