Blog Break & Career Change

I just finished packing us up for a trip to the Carolinas where we will witness Markus' graduation from Greenville Seminary. After that we'll spend a week at the Outer Banks, undoubtedly one of my favorite beaches in the country.

Today also marks the end of my last out-of-home job for perhaps many years. I have always wanted this, but still, after 10 years of working either on-the-side or full time it feels strange. Based on the last six months, where I've had more time at home, I think the homemaking full-time thing will be the biggest challenge yet, especially when Heidi gets here, not to mention the others we hope God will send us.

It's sort of a weird time to go on vacation. Our church is shaken right now with various trials and we hate to leave her. At the same time, we entrust her to the Father's care and ask that our readers keep her in their prayers, not just our little church in New Mexico, but His Body, His Bride, His Universal Church. Pray for peace, not the false peace of ignoring problems, but the Peace that Passes Understanding, which can only come from His Prevailing Truth.
