Today the US welcomes a new citizen, little Jaden. Welcome home, buddy, welcome home.
Last night at a church meeting Bridge agreed to go ahead with looking into hiring a 2nd staff person. Grant money is available to help pay for it, and so we've voted to leap on board where God seems to be leading us (and it isn't the first time we've followed God's lead in faith like this...) to see where the ride takes us. I'm eager to see who God brings into our path.
Vineyard wise, while we still feel God leading us, Mark & I are taking a step back, and are waiting for God's plan to unfold a bit more. Money and land are prohibitive right now, and unless God lays both in our laps, we won't be planting next spring yet, maybe in another year. We're still staying with the ministry vision God has given us, but for now it will be on a smaller scale. I think we have to develop it and learn to use it in our own backyard first.
In less than a week school begins again, it will be weird to have my children in two different places for school, but I'm eager for the opportunity for Hannah to spread her wings a bit.
