Moving

I'm moving . . . homes, jobs, cities, and probably more importantly on this thing we call life.

I move into a new apartment tomorrow in a new city to start a new job on Wednesday.

And uhhh I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all . . . a equal balance of fear and excitment.

As I sit in my old office at the school packing up a box of my "stuff" I realize that this small box won't fit all the things that have meant the most to me in the last season of my life here at the school. The kids that I've watched grow up don't fit in the box, the families that I've come to love don't fit, the relationships that have made me laugh, cry, and most importantly showed me the overwhelming goodness of our God don't fit. My box will only hold the "stuff" but it's all the rest that I sit here wishing I could pack up and take with me. I am so amazingly thankful for the last six years at this school. They have encompassed moments on the mountaintop and time spent in the valley and yet this whole journey has been so worth it because it's brought me to this exact moment where my path takes a turn and I start a new journey in a new place.

You can't say goodbye to a place like this, to the people that have impacted my life, to the moments that have shaped who I am today. So I almost find it a bit fitting that I'm sitting up at school late at night typing away on a blog post (which I've done oh so many times) and tomorrow I begin a new adventure that I'm sure will be chronicled in many more posts.

But for now I'm going to be out of pocket for a few days as I get situated on this new crazy adventure of full-time ministry. Wait who am I kidding, I've been in full-time ministry for a while now it just didn't always fell like it.

On Wednesday, I start as the Children's Ministry Director for Trinity Chapel Bible Church of Ft. Worth Texas. Me . . . full time ministry . . . for kids . . . . only God could have made this happen.

I'm a bit scared and feeling very unworthy but throughout this whole last month or so I've see the hand of God move in my life to give me a desire of my heart that was hidden for so long. And I trust Him to walk beside me through this new season and when I need it (and oh I will need it) I trust Him to carry me when I can't make it on my own two feet.

So Kpinion will be silent for a few days, but I'll be back and I'm working on the follow up to my last post. Feel free to comment with wild abandonment in my absence.
