We are 3 weeks away from Jason's completion of seminary training! Four and a half years ago this day seemed so far away and almost unreachable but here we are at the end. We are currently seeking out where the Lord would place us in ministry. Please pray for our family as we candidate and prepare to transition into a new ministry role. Our dear friend, Wendy, made Jason a web-site in order to better communicate with any church interested in him. I thought you might want to check it out.
Jason and I love this song by Andrew Peterson. We had never heard of him until my friend Jody Sauder posted this video on her blog. We are fans now :) For all my friends who love their marriage and consider the costs...
I was nineteen, you were twenty-one
The year we got engaged
Everyone said we were much too young
But we did it anyway
We bought our rings for forty each
From a pawn shop down the road
We made our vows and took the leap
Now fifteen years ago
We went dancing in the minefields
We went sailing in the storm
And it was harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise is for
"I do" are the two most famous last words
The beginning of the end
But to lose your life for another I've heard
Is a good place to begin
'Cause the only way to find your life
Is to lay your own life down
And I believe it's an easy price
For the life that we have found
And we're dancing in the minefields
We're sailing in the storm
This is harder than we dreamed
But I believe that's what the promise is for
So when I lose my way, find me
When I loose love's chains, bind me
At the end of all my faith, till the end of all my days
When I forget my name, remind me
'Cause we bear the light of the Son of Man
So there's nothing left to fear
So I'll walk with you in the shadowlands
Till the shadows disappear
'Cause he promised not to leave us
And his promises are true
So in the face of all this chaos, baby,
