Welcome to a New Season of Life...

Hello everyone! thanks again for checking out my blog! This blog post has been a long time coming but at the same time, a lot of what I have to say is only recent news, so I hope that it will fill you all in. 
Major news Update...
There is no easy way to say this, so I am just going to throw it out there: I had to quit my job at Transcend. 
This was not an easy decision especially given where Kirsten and I are at financially, but I felt that this was something that God was leading me to do and, after lots of consideration, the only way that I would be able to finish school and avoid "burning out" this semester. I saw that a lot of what I had on my plate was really boggin me down as I was committed to over 55 hours a week and I was simply not able to get all of my responsibilities (with the third service as well as House of Prayer) done to the best of my abilities. I'm sorry that I could not tell everyone in person about this, so I thought that I would use this as my way of communicating it. I had a great time at Transcend and if anyone that I worked with there is reading this, please know that I LOVED working there it just came down to my own personal health and having the time to give my best to the ministries that I am involved with.
Where does this Leave Kirsten and Myself?
Currently, I am committed to House of Prayer for 20-25 hours a week, the Third service for 10 hours a week, and finishing school (10-15 hours a week). Because of this change in our working situation, Kirsten and I are trusting more than ever that God will be providing finances for us at through my work at House of Prayer, so please don't be surprised if you get an email of phone call from me in the near future and please prayerfully consider tithing some of your money to House of Prayer (of which 90% of that money will be my salary and you will receive a donation receipt). If you would like to initiate this conversation, please email me or call me! 
More than money though, Kirsten and I are in need of your prayers! I am not concerned about the financial situation (as Charlie Robinson prophesied over me on the DAY of my last shift: "You are entering a new season in life, you have a lot of unknowns, but everything will be taken care of, so you don't need to worry about it," so I'm not worried, but I do know more than ever that I need to depend on God's Spirit for our every day needs. 
Please Follow my Blog
One of my number one priorities right now with House of Prayer is communication (communicating with people who are currently supporting me as well as those who are simply curious) so I am making it a goal to be weekly updating my blog with news as well as things that I am learning and want to pass along. Simply click "Follow my blog" on the right of my page so that you'll get updated when I do a new post! I would love to hear from you if you have any questions about House of Prayer or about how Kirsten and I are doing! Thanks for reading this and please know that we are daily praying for you (and all believers) in the prayer room, that God would be revealing His heart and character to each of you! 


Blessings,
