WHAT?!?

That's right. This summer we will be moving from our Little Townhouse on the Prairie to what will most likely be a Little Townhouse (or apartment) on the Desert.

The story is long and I will tell it over a few different blog posts, but I want to share the main points today.

We are moving to Phoenix to start an adventure that is scary and super exciting at the same time. God's will often is, isn't it?

Ben has taken a position to be the Executive Pastor of a church plant in the north suburbs of Phoenix called Life180. How we got to this point will need to come another day, but we are so excited to be able to be a part of what God is doing and is going to do through this new church in Phoenix.

If you have any questions, ask away in the comment section here, which I will attempt to answer in my next post which will explain more of our journey and the story of Life180. Meanwhile if you would like to check out the church you can look on my sidebar. I added it to my worthy causes because it truly fits in that category.

We are sad to leave our friends and church family here (as well as being within driving distance of my family), but we are excited for this chance to step out in faith and be obedient to God's leading.

Oh yeah, and winters in the 70's won't be so bad either.
