A 12-hour leap of faith :)

Whew! A lot has happened in the past few months. My husband and I moved from small town Alabama to Miami, Fla., where he accepted another youth ministry position. Now we’re slowing realizing that we are definitely small fish in a big pond...but that’s OK because our God is big and has great plans for our time here.

It wasn’t easy leaving Alabama, especially our family, friends and the youth we loved so much, but we knew that when the opportunity arose to move to Miami we had to take a leap of faith.

Adjusting to a new culture, the big city life, a new church and a new youth group hasn’t been easy, but it hasn’t been that hard either.

The hardest part is letting go...not forgetting, but moving on.

I’m not sure if any other youth minister’s wives have faced such a feeling, but I’m pretty sure there’s at least one other person who understands what I mean.

Since the move I’ve accrued much more free time than when I worked as a full time journalist, and my intentions when I first began this blog were to encourage and share with other youth minister’s wives.

So now that I am only working part-time, I figured it was time to restart what I began so many months ago.

As I try to keep up with this blog, I hope that someone out there will benefit from the journey God has set before me and the experiences I have gained along the way.

Until next time...

With His Love,
MYM Jessica
