New Places & New Faces

It is official. We live in Nevada. We are praising God for his protection and provision as we have journeyed cross country to begin this new chapter in our lives.

In a few hours, I (Jenn) will begin my first official day at Lifepoint Church as the Communications Director. It is beginning to feel real. Although, in many ways, it still feels like we live in a postcard--with snow-capped mountains surrounding us. Seriously, it is amazingly beautiful and the pictures we take don't even seem to capture it.

Through the process of moving we found encouragement from new and old friends, our family, sermons in Dallas and in God's Word and especially in His creation.

On Wednesday, we concluded our more than 2500-mile drive taking the road from Las Vegas to Minden/Carson City. What a final stretch! As we drove the fairly empty stretch of road I wondered how many people had seen the big city full of man-made wonders but never made it to see the natural God-made wonders just outside the lights. At every turn I was amazed by God's creativity.

Today, as I take a deep breath and dive into what God has next I am so thankful that I serve a God who is more creative than I could ever hope to become. What a joy and privilege it is to try and reflect His Glory in a new place among many new faces.
