Big News....I'm Moving to Indiana!

Friends, I am quite the excited gal this week.  I flew out to Indiana the few days before Thanksgiving to interview with a couple of awesome churches.  It was a whirlwind trip with airplanes, rental cars, pouring rain, and many, many new faces.  I drove through roundabouts, stayed in host homes and hotels, and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure of it all.


But the biggest news, is that I have accepted a position as Worship Pastor at Saint Joseph United Methodist Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana! It's a terrific church with five weekend services, some traditional, some contemporary, and I am excited to join the staff there.  I'll be overseeing the contemporary services, the multiple worship teams already in place, leading weekly, diving into the people of St. Joe and learning their stories....seriously, how cool?

So in a couple of weeks I'll be midwest bound, the green bullet accompanying me on yet another adventure.  It's looking like I'll head out, look for a place to live, get started in the job, and Mitch will join in on the fun in January.

Maybe there's more to share in this whole new venture, but I am filled to the brim with the excitement and anticipation that comes from participating in what God is unveiling and knitting together.  Be watching for a new blog to roll out as time permits... I'm thinking...

Amy Goes Midwest: I've been East. I've been West. Let's meet in the middle.

I mean, it's pretty awesome, don't you think?

Guess It's Time for an Update?

Wow....blogging has taken a backseat to the craziness of life these days, days full of people and odd jobs and the ever pressing in to what's next....not so many days of eclectic festivals and exploration.  Compared to all my crazy adventures of last year, this fall has been tame and restful...somewhat....:o)

We did spend a day in Fredericksburg last week, I'll have to post those. And Halloween was a fab time with family and friends. Trick or treating with toddlers is pretty entertaining.

Currently, I'm back house sitting in Chantilly with my two fav doggie pals, Aspen and Vermont.  It's fun to spend some time in a stylish townhome complete with internet, cable, and a very comfy couch.

I have been blessed with substitute teaching this fall. After September there have only been a few days I haven't worked, and those were more by choice than a lack of jobs.  I enjoy the constant change and challenge that comes with different groups of students. Tomorrow I'll be spending the day with my favorite class by far, a really cool 6th grade class. We have an understanding: they behave, and I look like an amazing substitute.

There may be a move in my near future. Nothing is even close to being definite, but prayer for discernment is my heart's desire.

This weekend is my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. 60 YEARS! After a hard spring and summer we are grateful as a family to have both my grandfather and grandmother healthy and ready to celebrate! Then I have a very quick jaunt to the great state of Indiana and back for Thanksgiving ready to see what December holds..... we'll just see!
