THE BIG ONE!!!

well guys...this is it. this is the one you've been waiting for. on the off chance that my mom hasn't already called you to let you know, I GOT A JOB!

Columbia Ridge Community Church. It's in a town called Troutdale which is about 15 minutes east of Portland. we couldn't be more excited. they have already begun to love us and welcome us (i've only been hired for 24 hours) and we can't wait to really get to know our new church family.

the youth group is maybe 10-12 high schoolers and 15 or so middle schoolers which is a great foundation with which to grow. i have met several of them and obviously they are great.

honestly we can't even express how much we have been blessed in this process. the Lord has been so obviously and consistently caring for and leading us along the way that we have rarely ever felt more than a little anxious. He has provided in every way imaginable every step of the way and now He has given us a job and a church that seems to exceed all our expectations. we really feel humbled by the way He has not only provided, but given to us an abundance.

Before we moved were committed to believing Deuteronomy 7:9. today it is more clear than ever. "know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands."
Praise God!
