Well, we have news!! Am I getting tired of news? You betcha! Are you getting tired of our news? I bet so. God has definitely brought us on a journey over the last 6 or so months. And that journey has probably been some of the most challenging of our lives. The long and the short of it is that despite many promising leads and maybe expectations on our part, Rob was never able to find work in Austin. So Rob expanded his job search and Rob was hired into a wonderful, fantastic church in Sammamish, WA. We have been welcomed like family. It feels so right and so ordained. He will be the Children's Pastor at a Covenant church.
So as I write, I am surrounded by beautiful, tall trees and crisp air. The mountains and ocean are overwhelming and I feel like I've come home. Rob went to seminary in Portland so we definitely have a history with the Pacific North West. Despite my carrying-ons about the weather, I definitely feel a sense of relief and solidness about being back.
Situationally(not a word, I know!), I am here with the kids while Rob finishes packing up in Austin. My brother lives here so I am just quietly typing away, letting the kids play and really just steeping in God's provision. And maybe just pining slightly for a breakfast Taco and some Blue Bell ice cream (these are Texan specialties that I will have to somehow deal with losing!)
