Jefferson here we come!

Ok, so what is Jefferson you ask? Actually it is part of the name of the new apartment complex, Jefferson at Park Central where we will be residing and involved with Apartment life. We are really excited about this move and the opportunity this brings for the ministry! We will be partnered up with another couple who attend our church. They are young and we actually met them awhile back. They were apart of our young marrieds group. So right off the bat we will have help and encouragement from a team that has already done this for awhile. We would ask all you to be praying for the hearts of the tenents of the complex that they will be receptive to us. Pray that we will be a light in this place, and that we will be faithful and available for whatever God has in store for us. Pray that we will be able to come together with the other couple and use our strengths to make this ministry great in His name. Pray for our time management and our transition since we will literally be jumping into everything as soon as we move in which is July 2nd. Pray that the move goes well and that all that runs smoothly. We thank all of you who already pray for us daily, we appreciate it greatly.
If you would like to see where we will be living you can click on link above and see the complex or click here for a layout of the actual apartment. They are very nice luxury apartments with plenty of amenities and not very far from either of our jobs. Now that we have an extra bedroom, we would love to have people come and stay with us as soon as we get settled, so don't hesitate!

My little blog...

Hey all!! As Aaron mentioned I began a new job at Phytel, Inc. on June 1st. Although I do not have a set job title, I basically am the office manager. So far it has been great! I was kind of thrown into the fire from day one, but I love a good challenge and so it has been exciting!! Other great news, my sister, Julie, is pregnant again!!! This will be #2 for them. I can't wait for that new sweet little one to come into this world. That baby will be so blessed with such a wonderful, loving family, including the best Aunt in the world (me of course)!! Also, we have been asked to pray through a possible apartment with the ministry we are getting involved with and hope to know pretty quickly whether or not that is where we will be for the next year. I'm excited more and more each day about this ministry opportunity, the chance to touch peoples lives in a different environment then what they might normally be used to. You can all be praying for Aaron as he seeks out another work position. We are constantly praying through where the Lord will lead him next and continue to pray that it is sooner than later. I want him to do something that he loves to do, and that just isn't the case right now. But it's provision by our great God and I am thankful for that!! Well, I guess that's it for now...

New Beginings....

As of today, my lovely wife starts her new job at Phytel. And from my understanding it is a medical communications company. What is that you ask? Well as I understand it, they go into dr.'s offices and set up a phone system that does away with the postcards that many of us receive when we are due for a physical or annual visit. She will be going back to doing the things that she has been doing before working at the bank and putting her admin. skills back to work. This job is really a blessing for us because it will allow us to be out of debt much quicker than at the rate we are at now, and hopefully allow us to save money to buy a house in the next year or so, Lord willing nothing terrible happens. She is also much closer to our current apartment and her benefits are paid for which is another blessing. We ask for prayer as she starts her new job that the trasition will be smooth and she will learn everything as fast as she can.
Also wanted to let you guys know that we had a great time in Ft. Worth this past weekend. We went to the zoo in the rain, went to an art museum, saw the rangers win against the white sox, walked the streets of downtown, and saw the sith take control of the Galactic Empire (Star wars III for those non Star Wars folk.) It was the first time that Jill and I were able to get away and enjoy each other since the honeymoon, and it was great. Well that is all for now, I have to get back to work. Hope all is well with everyone who visits the site!
