Finality...

Well this past year I have dealt with a lot of finality in my life.  My dad passing away of cancer, my beautiful wife and I sleeping due to our beautiful daughter Greenlee and in just a few days I will be leaving a community that has meant the world to me in many ways over the past seven years.  And the worst part is I don't know what I am leaving to...  the only thing I know is God has a plan for me and I am excited to see what it is.  Although I haven't enjoy my job at Crossroads for the past few years I will truly miss so many people...  This past three months has been so hard for Kristy and I... we know what we want (Raleigh) but the problem is that we don't know if the timing from God is not lining up which could mean a few different things... 1.) That CNX is not the right place for us... which would be a horrible things at least we think.  We have grown to love the area and the people especially.  Of course I don't need to say anything about the Turner's, we h...

Well my last day at Crossroads is May 1st... after that we aren't sure what we are going to do... I guess we will see what it feels like to completely trust God which can be a cool journey as well as very scary.  I can honestly say i believe i have cried more in the last year and a half than i ever have in my entire life.  Things have been very stressful.  If Kristy and I can make it through this summer i believe we can make it through anything.   So as of today our plan is to sell our house and me to get a job at least through the summer.  I have a couple worship leading gigs that could pan out one here in Lexington and one in Cincinasty.  Either of those would be great for me to do in the summer.   If we sell our house and Kristy gets a job in before the end of August we will move to Raleigh.  It none of those things happen we will be stuck in Lexington like this gum on this shoe until a year or so later.  Maybe God wants me on hold for something, maybe he doesnt... I guess we sh...

Ok,  so I am sitting at this amazing bagel place in Raleigh loving being here.  I just got done eating a delicious bagel covered with sausage, cheese, and egg from Bruegger's Bagels.  Which happens to be the real reason we want to move to Raleigh not Connections Church or the Turner's or the Cooper's just don't tell them that.   I had practice last night with CNX band and it went great.  It is very different in many way than anything I have ever done but in good ways.  I was very pleased with their progression with the songs and there willingness to do new songs as well as new versions of old ones.  They are all very cool. I was talking with Fred and Jenn last night about where we were with everything and it is funny because we basically have a choice to make.  Here are our options currently... ~ We went to a different church last weekend that would be just like what I am doing know.  Just in a different place, different people, and more opportunities for the future. ...
