Transition

I don't know of a better word to describe this season of my life than transition. New job (THRIVE! is now full time), new church- my wife and children and I are helping with the Northgate Churchplant www.northgatebuffalo.com, new baby- well 6 months now. Everything is new and different, but really great overall. Just getting my head around all the changes is the difficult part.

Personally however, I love change. I get bored with the same old, same old. I like a new adventure, a new season. So here we are in the midst of this economic shaking and we can't get away from the thought that God is calling us to take this magazine full time. People have thought we are out of our minds to do it now. But if not now, when? I don't put my trust in the economic systems of this world we are putting our trust fully in the grace and peace of God.

It has honestly just been amazing for us to watch God meet us as we have stepped out with this. So many doors have opened for THRIVE! and we know this is just the beginning. We know we are starting small but we are excited about what the future holds. For the longest time we felt their was a ceiling on what we could do with this and still hold onto the security of my day job. It was as if Jesus was asking us to come and walk on the water with him, so we did. Talk to you soon.
