Transitioning

Hello friends! I hope you all remember who I am! It has been forever since I've blogged and for those of you who are interested, I am no longer in the Face Book crowd. Privacy really became an issue and I felt it best to leave. Surely there are better ways to keep up with friends.

Anyway, a lot has been transpiring in our lives in the last two to three months. Darren is almost done with his first semester of his new college, on his way to finishing his Bachelors! I will be glad when that's done, but something new is on our horizon! We have recently taken on a new position that will involve a move sometime in the near future. How near, I don't know yet. It will depend on Darren's work and if he gets the full-time position that he's been notified about. After he finds out, which will hopefully be in the next month, we will know when we can move. We are planning on moving to Ohio because we have taken on the Youth Pastor position at Bro. Bruce Maguire's church in Germantown, Ohio, Route 4 Holiness Church. We are excited about it! The thing that most awes me about this move is that I actually have a desire to do it! A year ago, I couldn't say that! I had been so wounded and laid open, so to speak, that I didn't think I would EVER want to work for God again, but with time and the love of God's family, I have healed inside and out (PTL!!) and feel ready to "sail on" and do something for the Lord. It's hard to imagine ever doing something for the Lord when you feel you've been shipwrecked and battered and scarred and bruised, but when you allow time and the Lord to heal you, you might be surprised at what you will do. I am thankful I serve a HEALER! Not only of the body, but of the mind, heart and spirit! So we start this coming Sunday at our new church! I shouldn't have any trouble remembering when we started attending Route 4 because it will be on my (GASP!!) 39th birthday! 39!!!!! AAAAGGHHH!!! It is hard to believe I am that old! I feel every bit of it, but when I look in the mirror, I look as young as ever! LOL!!! I can't tell that I've aged a bit since my teen years! LOL! Well, maybe a little! My daughter saw a picture of me when I was in my early twenties and she wanted to know what that "skinny" girl was! Now, that's bad, when she can't even recognize her own mom! But I have put on weight! I weigh about 50 pounds more now than then... (sigh...) Maybe now that I'm laying off of pop, I might lose some weight... sure would be nice before I get pregnant again!

Anyway, I don't have a whole lot of time at the present to really catch up, but I thought I would share a bit of what's going on and GOING TO BE going on.... (hope you caught that..lol!) So hopefully I can write again soon! God bless you all and hopefully I can hear from my "listeners" soon!

His Servant,
Jennifer
