the new norm

I am now 5 weeks into my new job. I am loving what I do, and the ministry that I get to work for. Andrew asked me after a few days of work what I liked most about the job and I told him that I love working with other believers. I get the opportunity to be involved with a ministry that's goal is saving lives.. those of the unborn, but also leading people to Jesus. Because of the nature of our center, I have found myself coming to a whole new level of dependency on God. I am realizing every day how little is in my control, but how God has the ability and desire to change even the hardest of hearts. I am excited about how God is already transforming me through this position, and can't wait to see all that he has in store for this ministry in the future.. and humbled that I get be a part of it.

But with a new job obviously comes some big changes for my family. We have now gone from me being a full time stay at home mommy, to working 3 days a week out of the house. 2 of the 5 weeks I have been working Andrew has been gone, and has just recently made the decision to be gone next week as well. I have always seen myself as his partner in ministry and now he is making the adjustment to partnering with me in my ministry as well. Lots of adjustment taking place and we are so thankful our boys are so easy going. They have been doing great with our summer nanny and I think enjoy the change of scenery sometimes. :) Andrew and I will come out of a busy season and be excited that the next one will slow down, but somehow we never see that slow down. We will find our groove with this new change, but until then I'm sure there may be a few more bumps in the road.

I will say, God has shown incredible faithfulness to my family and we are feeling incredibly blessed. In every season He knows exactly what we need and He is always there. He is our provider and we will continue to seek His face and depend on Him alone!
