Almost there

(jordan in the studio)

I am sorry to have such a gap of time in my update on the J+K frontier but life swept me up and I am finally coming of its grasp. Jordan finished camp and started the next day in the studio recording his new EP. While I have been learning the ropes of what it is a Youth Center Director actually does. We are both extremely happy and even happier for each other. But it does come at a price. Distance has been hard and our relationship has seen its share of exhausting distances. This distance for me has seemed brand new, I have never wanted to create a physical home for myself. So with this new passion and longing comes the bending and breaking of a lot of things I was holding on to and hiding from when you never really unpack your bags. From having to buy my own can opener to needing a toilet scrub brush to having to make time for yourself even when you live by yourself. My god, I never knew there where so many angles to this thing! Ha!

Well friends and family, I am proud to say God has given me the grace to unpack my bags, look inside and finally throw a lot out. Emotionally, spiritually, resentfully, humbly...I am doing it. I long so badly to grow in this time and not just be waiting on the door step for Jordan to come home. Its work growing up! Ha...but seriously. Even making decisions, doing the "right thing", all that sometimes doesn't feel as good as you thought.

On the less sobering side (onto the excitement) Jordan will be finally setting his feet down up here with me Saturday! His job and boss are all lined up and Time has finally smiled on us. God is so GOOD. Jordan has been stretched and encouraged through this project in the studio. We can't wait to share these new songs with you, your family, your stereo, and our world! Here are some photos I caught in the studio....
