NASHVILLE BOUND!

Nathan and I are excited to announce that we are moving to Nashville!! We will be moving in ONE MONTH so there is a lot to be done!

We will be serving as Resident Assitant Program Representatives to an apartment complex in Bellevue. As representatives of an affiliated church we will be responsible for providing activities for the residents of the apartment community. Activities may include programs for children and adults in health, education, recreation, service and social areas as well as welcome visits to new residents.



Our purpose is to build relationships with the people and hopefully have an opportunitiy to share the Gospel. Nathan and I are excited about our role in the apartment community but we are also looking forward to our involvement with the affiliated church.

The Lord orchestrates everything in HIS timing and it's been neat to watch all the details just fall into place. For example, the lease on our Louisville apartment ends at the end of October so I have to let them know if we are signing a new lease on October 1st. The opportunity with the apartment complex came about this past Saturday, September 25th! We drove to Nashville on Monday to check it out and we agreed to take the position on Tuesday. God knows my LACK OF PATIENCE so he waited until the last minute to provide us with this opportunity...I really don't think my lack of patience had anything to do with it but it definitely was a "trust lesson" for me.

Prayer request: The position is only part time so Nathan will need to find a full time job. We have several friends in Nashville so we sent emails asking them to let us know if they hear of anywhere that is hiring. We are confident that the Lord will work out this detail too, but we are asking that you join us in praying!
As excited as we are, this is a bittersweet time for us. We have lived in Louisville for five years and made some lifelong friends. It's going to be SO hard to leave these people that we have grown to love! We have been part of an amazing church and have nothing but gratitude for the opportunities that we have had to lead and serve.

I will keep the blog updated with pictures and info as we transition from Louisville to Nashville!!

I AM GOING BACK TO GOOD OL' ROCKY TOP!! **sorry, I couldn't resist**
