This Is Only The Beginning

What a wild ride it has been!  I cannot even think where the time has gone since we came to Fort Worth in Aug. of 2009.  In 09 we cam down with the goal of going to Seminary.  Now looking back, I can see how God worked through so many situations and circumstances it is AMAZING!

Diamend has worked at some great places and experienced some wonderful people that she will always be friends with.  She has made connections with other minister wives that will help her as we continue this journey that God has placed us on.  She has built relationships with friends that will last and be life long.  It is crazy to see where God has taken her and grown her into the perfect pastor's helpmate!  She is the most amazing woman I know and I thank God each day for placing her in my life.

I too have been blessed to work at an amazing place that has not only provided funds for living but wonderful friendships also.  It is weird to think that soon I will leave Apple and it has been such a big part of our lives here in Texas.  I also have made life long friends that I will get to bounce ideas off of as well as pray for as they serve the Lord in areas that I will most likely never get to go!  I have been blessed to have been trained by some of the most amazing men I know and I cannot wait to see what else they will give the Lord to work with!

Diamend and I both have been blessed so much by our son Grayson!  We cannot express the joy he brings us.  There is frustration for sure but he is a gift from God for sure and we cannot see ourselves moving on in life without him!

Our next adventure takes us to Houston, Texas where I will be serving as a Junior High Youth Pastor at Houston's First Baptist Church.  God has blessed me with the opportunity to work at, with, and alongside an amazing church family, leadership, team, and pastor.  We are truly humbled that God would even use us to proclaim His name!

For those who have been reading this blog the last 3 years and those who have supported through prayer, gifts, and thoughts I want to thank you!  I'm not thanking you like an off the cuff thank you but THANK YOU!  Really.  God has used you in ways that you will never know or see but He has shown us and we have felt it in our lives.  None of this would be possible without YOU so thank you thank you thank you!

Diamend says that I never post, or when I post I just type.  So here are some pictures of our amazing son Grayson!





Thank you all again and look for another update soon on the move and my first few days at Houston's First!
