Farewell

SO, tomorrow we change zip codes. For the first time in 20 years. I've had trouble not driving to our old house, how in the world am I going to get around Russellville? I'm going to only be in town 2 days until I go to RL owner's conference for 5 days. It's going to be unreal to step away from the boxes and the children.

We've signed a one year lease so we can have a place where we can settle while we build. Who knows what this next year will hold? Some days it's exciting, but some days it's a little scary. I'm trying not to think about it.

Today in church the pastor talked about how there's a gap between our expectations and our experiences. That is certainly true for me, maybe I think about things too much, but things are seldom like I expect and I often feel let down after things, especially big things. But the pastor went on to say how an ENCOUNTER with Jesus can bridge the gap and make our experiences better than we thought. I'm looking for an ENCOUNTER.
