Well, the big news this week is that we are moving!  Yes, after seven months of cohabitation with another family Katrina and I are moving on.  There is a lot to debrief on this topic, and I plan on doing that soon…probably once I get the server switched over to our new home.  Suffice it to say that the four of us have been in prayer with our friends, family and each other, and God has blessed us, and called us to start a new season in our lives.  There will be more in the way of reflection soon, but in the meantime, some things we’re excited about:

Our new apartment will be located in the “urban” downtown of Abilene, TX close to a half way house and even closer to a homeless kitchen named “BOBS” (Breakfast on Beech St.).  This is ideal for me because I have been visiting BOBS for over a year and a half once a week and have made many friends there.  Now it looks like Father is giving me an opportunity to increase intentionality with that community and begin meeting with them in more regular ways!  And everyone I’ve talked to about this half way house says that God is up to mighty things there as well.  Trina and I couldn’t be more excited.

We have learned a lot from our time in the Green Valley Abbey, and we’ll not be long before we post our reflections on that.  But that will have to wait for another day…
