Let me begin by saying that ministry is not the easiest thing to do. When Zach and I were dating he told me that he felt called to go into ministry. I was excited by this. I loved that he was willing to follow God. Zach did not immediately go into ministry after we were married. He worked at a local elementary school while I finished my nursing degree. Then other things happened. I guess if I am totally honest I would have to say that he was in ministry, just not full time. He was a worship leader in our church on the the praise band.
Anyway, long story short, I am now the wife of a full time Worship/Youth Pastor! So you're probably thinking...great, I bet your life if easy cheesy b/c you serve God. However, I want to inform you that ministry is not the easiest thing. God never promised that. He never said follow me and life will be all berries and cream. Just look at his disciples and what they had to face.
So we find ourselves, once again looking at a move. In the last year we have gone through three of these. We are desperately trying to follow God at all costs. We desire to reach the lost for Him and will do "whatever it takes" to do this. So if that means that we pack up and move...we pack up and move!
So I know that this blog is a jumble of thoughts and feeling but it is just to introduce you to my crazy jumbled mind. Now follow me as we start a new adventure for Christ. Starting May 7th (carly's 2nd birthday) Zach will start his new position as the Worship/Youth Pastor at Washington Avenue Church in Greenville, SC. We look forward to what God has in store for us there.
