Just alittle about a "New Journey"

Life is so interesting! Over the years, God has put different ministry paths on our hearts; missions, adoption, orphans, students & young people but unsure what capacity those would be in. One path has brought us to Sugar Land, TX. We moved here in June 08 to begin a new adventure where God called us to be part of a church plant, Grandview Fellowship. We were happy and comfortable where we were, loved the people and had many great friends right where we were but knew this is part of God's plan for us. During our transition we moved several times and stayed with friends until we finally found a resting spot. A nice cozy apartment we call home.

God knows our hearts and His timing is perfect. Doing what He asks isn't always easy when it takes us out of our comfort zone but it's all for His glory and honor not ours. He has a funny way of putting people together and then taking them on new adventures either together or separate. The really neat part is we can still have friendships and discipleship with people no matter where we are in location. We will always have family and friends all over who we love and connect with! Now, I am learning ministry is not just about a location, name or a building as much as it is about people!

Within one (the same) month, me and my husband, my sister and her family and my little sister all moved away from the same location. Talk about a shock for my parents! It was a shock for all of us that we are all moving in different directions!
People ask me all the time if we like Sugar Land, TX and why Sugar Land? We do like Sugar Land! We enjoy the location, the people and the fact that it's very diverse here. It is very different here! It takes longer to make friendships and connect with people yet some people are very open. It takes effort and commitment to keep special relationships alive and make new relationships! Sometimes I think it might have been easier to move to another state but that was not God's plan. He has a plan for us in Sugar Land and we have learned a lot about people, ministry and ourselves here! In the hard times He wants us to rely on Him more! Trust Him for His strength! Why try to make judgement on others or think we know best when HE does! This is a stepping stone within the journey we are on. I call it a journey because there are so many roads and paths we are learning about each day!
