Future Plans: Vision Casting and Babies

Future plans...we're not sure! We will graduate together next May (I'm just waiting until I get my leveling classes done so I didn't have to reapply...plus it's easier on the families coming!). Whatever we do, we will be sent from our church, North Wake Baptist Church. We have brought to our pastors an idea of a potential church plant in Hendersonville/Asheville area? Or, the church on Hilton Head Island for revitalization. Hilton Head is a hard place to impact because of the vacation and exclusive mindset. Dustin would be Associate Pastor over Small Group, Counseling, and Discipleship. We LOVE the mountains so we're leaning a bit more toward Hendersonville, but my family is rooting for Hilton Head. Think the Georgia clan would rather Hendersonville since we would only be 3 hours away!!!

We'll see...We are taking a vision planning trip in the summer to Hendersonville to scout the area and see if a church plant or revitalization could be possible, as well as Hilton Head. North Wake says they are probably two years away from another plant (we've planted 5 in the last 4 years), so that would give us time to go through the church residency training. Very exciting!! Though we have no idea where or when the Lord is going to move us. We just want to be faithful to wherever he sends us! For now, we are most content in Wake Forest and North Wake and plan to dig in here until He says, "Go."

Dustin and I (along with the whole small group...and world it seems) are praying for the Lord to bless us with a little one. I have been on Clomid (low dose fertility drug) for 5 months to no avail. This past month we had quite a scare (which I'll share in another post). Everything seems to be fine physically, so we just continue to wait on the Lord.  It's hard at times having no kids with all the counseling we do both formally and informally...it would be a lot easier to speak to parents if we were parents!! haha But, the Lord knows. We are also beginning the process of paper work for adoption. Much more to come on that later!!! Through this journey of waiting to get pregnant and have a healthy baby, the Lord has definitely opened our hearts to adopting kiddos in our lifetime. So, pray for us that we would trust the Lord...and pray that He would bless us with a child soon! We're going to have a colorful family!! :)

Bottom line, we are so excited for all the Lord has planned! He is GOOD, all the time!
