Mandy and I continue to be amazed by the doors God is opening as we embark on this adventure out to California. I had the opportunity to talk to a couple of the guys out there today, and it was very encouraging. The best part was just finally getting a chance to talk over our decision with them and let them hear a little of our hearts. And it is great to start that connection process.
We know that we are going to get crazy looks from people when we tell them what we have decided to do. That they are going to brand us as irresponsible or foolish. But the more my wife and I talk about those things the more at peace we are in the midst of this whole ordeal. And we are really okay with however this thing goes. I mean, we really believe that God is doing some BIG, like monstrous, something that we are going to have to keep opening our hearts up to - which is hard.

Hard but exciting. I have edited this section of my original blog post because it was filled with stinking thinking, as my father-in-law would say. I am very confident that God will not give me anything more than what I can handle. That he has gifted me, especially when it comes to learning quickly, and I hope that I can get the opportunity to serve and be a apart of the Saddleback community! I am so excited as to what God has prepared for me and my family.
And even as Satan temps my mind with wanting to go down the road of doubt and second - guessing, I refuse to let that determine what God can do with my life.
