Movin' on Up

Hey everyone! First so sorry for not writing sooner but with no internet this has gotten tricky. You should know that I am moved in to our new apartment in Grover Beach (which is 1 minute from Pismo Beach, which means 2 minutes from the BEACH!).

Enjoy some pictures.

Our new address is:
251 S.Oak Park Blvd #7
Grover Beach, CA 93433

Jordan helped me move in on sunday and then turned around back to camp to finish his last two weeks of Forest Home. Through your prayers and encouragement he has had an amazing and unforgettable summer. He is tan and bearded but refreshed in our God, in music, and this next generation.

To be honest, I actually love this town, my job, and the people/family that have consumed me since the day I moved back. But in the same breath it just doesn't feel complete without Jordan here. We have worked for almost three years to get this opportunity, so its odd to have another month before Jordan can join. God is good. I know he brought us here and I know we are where we are suppose to be. I even know that God can use this time for his glory. I have seen it in how much free time I have to commit myself whole heartily to this job and this church. I guess also odd in being that so many others are in a moving time as well. It seems that all my best friends are moving in some way. Change has this way of bring out a new side of yourself; vulnerable and willing. For me a lot less stubborn and finally actually asking for help.

The biggest move this week has been for Jamiee Renfrow. She left this world after what was hopefully a life saving operation to give her new lungs. Jordan and I both knew Ronnie Renfrow her husband, since they both attended Point Loma. They have been married, I think, over a year now and both really active at a church in San Diego. Her move from this earth has changed me more then my physical move this week. My heart breaths heavy for such a loss in such unseen time. It makes me cleave for my husband, even though I know he is doing the Lord's work. It makes me cry in silence to think of losing someone so dear after plans of forever. It makes me scream to think why. It makes me laugh to think who am I. It makes me remember what life who for and quick it is.

So in all my joy this week there has been a sobering renewal of my priorities. To let everyone know how much they mean to me. To work to the best of my abilities with the best attitude. To give to those I can reach. To appreciate my family and girls. And to strive for the best marriage to my best friend, to let him know me and care for me.

Cause you just never know when you're movin' on up.
