Oh the South!

Well we arrived in Louisville last night but I must say it is strange to be back in the South. It almost feels like there is too much space and lots of strangers talking to our kids. Josh and I were glad to have time in the car to process this life change. We cried hard and laughed some and consoled our kids as they braved long days in the car. As we drove out on Monday, I continually had to trust God as we drove further away from Boston. All I really wanted to do was to go back to the Jones' house and stay there forever! A place where we have had lots of amazing times with our church family! Boston is such a great place but most of all we will miss the body of Christ that dwells in the Oasis Church. I moved to Boston to reach out to the lost and disciple but I leave Boston changed in every way. Maybe we will go back after seminary- we have no clue. One thing I am certain of that when we give ourselves over fully to Christ as a church he does the most beautiful things. I will miss Cavin's sweetness, Emily's smile, James' manly cry, Sharla's company and butterscotch pie, Brent's laugh and availability, Doug's support and love for snacks, Shelley's ability to make me laugh and desire for simplicity, Heather's honesty and yankee blood, Stacey's servanthood and efficiency, Kc's funny stories and love for everyone, Melissa's passion for truth and encouragement, and oh Clint. Clint's sense of humor! I love you all!
