I had this personal vow that I would write in my online journal at least once a month, and until April I had been successful!  But, alas, April and May have been rather chaotic months!  Mark and I have relocated back to sunny Colorado, just arriving this last weekend!  We lived here before moving to Tennessee a little over a year and a half ago.  But back in January we began praying about coming back.  Life is so funny and certainly doesn't always make sense, but we are glad the Lord has led us back here - close to family and the Rocky Mountain air.  It was just starting to get muggy and hot in Tennessee and we escaped just in time.  I know many of you love the HEAT, but I don't, nor the bugs that go with it! 

One of the main reasons we made the move back to Colorado when we did is because I have accepted a position as Associate Worship Director at Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada, CO (www.fbci.org).  For those of you who've known me for a while, you know my roots have always been in the area of praise and worship, since I was a young child.  I've never NOT been involved in the worship team at church and it is where my heart feels most at home.  The blessing about this particular position is that I will still have the freedom to travel, though on a more limited basis, and songwriting is part of my job description!  So, it's kind of the best of both worlds for me.  Mark and I are excited to be a part of this wonderful church!

Moving to Tennessee was a huge learning experience for me and for us.  We moved there in order for me to be closer to the label I was working with at the time.  We felt God's leading and it made perfect sense, but as it turned out, continuing with that label was not God's plan.  However, as a result of all that we went through, I learned so much about who God has made me to be and what He's called me to do.  And I learned every bit as much about what He DOESN'T want me doing!  So, be encouraged in the seasons of your life that haven't made sense, or have seemed like wasted time, or are so painful that you think nothing good could ever come of it.  God promises that He will work everything, yes EVERYTHING, together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.  That's a promise and He cannot lie. 

Welp, I better get going for now!  I pray God's blessings be poured out upon each of you abundantly!!!!!
