God's next step for our family.....

In Dec 2004 we moved back to VA following God and helping start a church. We saw God move in many ways through the 3 years God had us at that church and formed some relationships with people that we are now better for having known. Then God moved us on to Forefront Church.

And now. . .

Tommy has been asked to take an intern position at our new church plant that is coming out of Forefront. The plant. . . It's in VEGAS! I know that sounds crazy and perhaps it is but it has been our experience that sometimes God just works in ways that we would never have seen coming. This is one of those ways.

In the summer of '09 we will be moving to Las Vegas, NV to start a church ON the Strip. There are other successful churches in Vegas but no one has ever successfully planted a church on the Strip. God has called us to do just that.

Tommy will intern there in Vegas for two years and then will be supported to start a church plant where God leads us. Forefront has a vision of reaching the darkest corners of our world with the light of our Savior Jesus Christ and it is a vision that we fully believe in as well.

So anyways, that's the plan for now. Please be praying for us and you will be hearing from us soon!

Happy 2nd Birthday Brodie!!

So our little boy turned 2 today and I can't believe it. Time has flown so fast that sometimes I wish we could make it slow or stop just to stay in the moment. The two years we have had with Brodie have been so amazing and we can't imagine life any other way. He is such a blessing and brings so much joy to our lives. Jesus, thank you for the special moments you give us daily.

Brodie, you are so full of life and laughter that you bring smiles to anyone around you with your all-boy wild spirit :). You love to be silly and make us laugh yet you also have such a tender and loving heart. You are so special and we feel like the luckiest parents in the world to have you for our son. We pray that you will grow in the Lord and will love Him with all of your heart and serve Him with all that you are. He created you and has plans for you that are beyond what we can even imagine. We love you so much. Happy 2nd Birthday Son!
