Today’s Moving Day

January 9, 2009 in Church Planting, Family with 0 Comments

Well…today’s the day! It’s moving day! It’s time to close one amazing chapter in our lives and begin another amazing chapter… one that we don’t have any idea what to expect from it.

Some people have asked us how they can help us. Honestly, the two main things right now are prayer and funding. Pray that God will do an unbelievable work in Columbia through us. Pray that the church that we plant will see thousands of people come to know Christ and experince him personally. Pray that Patty’s practice will open with a bang and that tons of hurting people will find better physical health, and hopefully Christ.

As for funding, pray that God will provide funding soon for us to step out like this. We basically have two weeks of money to carry us for now, so hopefully I can get a job lined up quickly or find funding from various churches, organizations, or people. Heck…in the next couple of weeks there will be ways that you can donate here on the blog, so please consider partnering with us to start this new church. Every little bit will go a long way.

That’s all for now. To all our Greenville peeps…we love you all and will miss you.

Time to load the truck!

Sorry I haven’t updated much in the past few weeks. We have been out of town a good bit and this week is “moving week.” Next week I will be updating this site like crazy so make sure you stop by to check it out daily.

Keep us in your prayers as we step out on this adventure.

Huge News…

December 11, 2008 in Church Planting, Family with 2 Comments

Well, I’ve been hinting on my twitter account that we had some big news to announce and the day has finally come. I’ll just cut to the chase. In January, we are going to be moving to Columbia, SC to plant a church! Not only that, Patty will be opening up her own chiropractic practice in Camden!

The past couple of years have been awesome here at SpringWell but we knew that it was time to pursue these dreams that God had placed in our hearts. Over the past couple of years, I have been feeling some rumblings from God about planting a church but I fought it. But…eventually God made it obvious through tons of things that He wanted us to do it and that the time is now.

I’m not going to lie, it’s a scary proposition. As of right now, we don’t know where we’re gonna live, how we’re gonna make any money until everything is fully up and running, and basically how we’ll survive. Especially with the state of the economy. But we know that God is faithful and we are certain that this is where God is leading! We’re confident that he will provide.

As for SpringWell, Scott and Bill have been supportive of me through this decision and are standing by me in support of this plant. We know that we’re really going to miss a lot of people at SpringWell. We can honestly say that we were embraced quicker here than we have ever been before and we have made some friendships that we are certain will last a lifetime. We’re going to especially miss the students and leaders that we worked with every week, but we know that God has even bigger things in store for them in the future! We love you all and we will definitely be in touch.

I’ll be talking about the church plant and more in the future. Keep us in your prayers as we seek God’s guidance in these endeavors. Pray that God will do a revolutionary work through us and that thousands will come to know Him.

As sort of a side note, what has God been speaking to you about doing? Whatever it is, just do it. Don’t let life pass you buy without surrendering to the things God wants you to do. More to come…

Now Playing on Isaiah’s iPod…

December 10, 2008 in Family, Music with 0 Comments

While I’m on this music kick today, I tought I’d share with you Isaiah’s three favorite songs right now. Everytime he hears these songs, he dances like no other. He even does the “la la la la…” with the first one: Here ya go:

1) Neverending by the David Crowder Band

2) Vida la Vida by Coldplay

3) Whatever You Like by T.I.

What did you expect? The Wiggles? Sorry…he only likes good music.

What does your 14 1/2 month old listen to?

Note: Isaiah does not really own an iPod. Heck…I don’t even have one anymore. Someone stole it out of our car.

It’s been too long…

Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. I am making it a goal to blog at least 5 times in a week starting this coming week so prepare yourself. Also, we have some huge news to let everyone know about this Thursday so make sure you check in.

Anyways, our lives have been crazy lately! We have traveled tons for the holidays and we have a lot more coming up. Yesterday we got some new pictures made for Christmas. Too bad all of us were sick for the pics (major colds)! They aren’t the best pics ever, but they aren’t bad considering none of us could breathe clearly.

Remember…check back often next week (or subscribe over at the right).
