Leap of Faith

After many months of prayer and quite an emotional morning, Luke and I have an announcement that we would like to share with our loved ones.

First off, as many of you may know, Luke has been enrolled in online seminary classes through Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri. For the past year or so, we have felt that God was calling Luke to continue his education through seminary. We decided that online classes would be the easiest way for us.  This is Luke’s second semester of online classes. Noticed that I said earlier that online classes were the easiest way for US to answer God’s call to seminary. However, sometimes the easiest way for US isn’t the way God wants us to answer His call. Through lots of prayer and consideration, we have decided to answer God’s call to full-time seminary training.

We will be moving to Kansas City, Missouri so that Luke can pursue his Master’s Degree of Divinity with a concentration in Youth Ministry at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. His last Sunday with the church will be May 29 and I will be resigning from my job, effective at the end of the school year. We plan on moving the first couple weeks of June. We have visited the campus a couple of times and really enjoy the area. We already have a tiny, cute apartment waiting for us on campus.

Obviously, we are taking a giant leap of faith and will have to make huge changes. One being our tiny apartment…we will be living 5 hours from all our family and friends…neither of us have jobs yet…we have to sell our house…and so on and so forth. It’s quite stressful (obviously) but we know that everything will work out the way God intends for it to. We know that it won’t be easy leaving everything (and everyone) behind, but we know that God has great things in store for us if we just follow Him. We ask that our friends and family here continue to pray for us and support us in these next few months as we make the transition to Kansas City.

Get Behind Me!

Good morning reader friends! I felt as though I hadn't written anything of substance for a while so here goes! I have been attending a Bible study with women who are on campus or have previously been on campus. This past week, someone told me they hadn't seen anyone get through seminary without a car breaking down (in a disastrous way), someone close to them dying, or serious financial woes. My first thought was, "Get me out of here!" But in all honesty, why do seminary families have so many troubles? I can tell you why, Satan is an attacker. An evil being who does not want any human growing in their faith in his nemesis. I remember a few things happening before we even moved that made me think that Satan was attacking us. He was doing everything in his power to make us stay where we were and lose faith in our Lord. But he didn't win, we're here. He's still attacking us though. Luke's job hasn't started yet...every time he calls they tell him t

Clarity, Please?

Job hunting is never fun. Enough said. :) I just got home from my first job interview here in KC. And well, wasn't that interesting? I interviewed with a massage company...for (what I thought) a receptionist position. I got lost on the way there - but on a plus side I totally figured it out and got myself back on track (go me!). I had to drive literally through the city traffic to get there. I got off the interstate and proceed to, in my mind, the ghetto. It probably isn't though - I doubt I've ever been to a real ghetto. During the interview the lady tells me that we are in the ritzy part of town (uh, what?) and that customers will yell at me. Oh, and so will the therapists...I guess they think they run the place since they have a college degree. Um, I have a college degree. She also asked if I was familiar doing sales with a script. It appears that I have to call people and convince them to get a membership to this place. Okay....oh, and I make $8.50 an hour plus commis

KC Adventures

So I've decided that I'm not so good at blogging. I meant to do this at least a couple times a week...not once every two weeks. It's a very busy time in my life so I apologize! I'll try harder! I have decided to focus this blog post on more FUN things! It seems my past posts have been serious tear-jerkers and while I enjoy them...it's time for some fun! Luke and I (the dorks that we are) have created a short list of adventures we would like to embark on when we get to KC. My plan is to document all these adventures and share them with you. This list is just a few things we have found so far...I'm sure it will grow. And as I look over it...most of it seems centered around food and sports. Hrmmm...let's get started. Oh, by the way, these are in no particular order. 1. Kansas City Royals game. No, we are NOT going to disown the Cardinals! We will always be Cardinals fans. However, Royals games are CHEAP! They have BUCK nights and areas of the stadium that ar
