Big Changes

Well it has been a while to say the least since our last blog post. We have both been doing well and the Lord has been doing some great things not only in our lives but in the lives of others as well. Life has been crazy for both Anna and I. Anna has continued to work at her after school program as well as working at an internship at a children's hospital. She has really enjoyed it but she hasn't had much free time to do anything else. I have been taking online classes on top of working at Cast Your Cares during the day. So my free time has become no existent as well. I decided to start taking online classes in order to finish up some basic classes that I never took when I was in college years ago.

Many of you know but for the one's that do not know Anna and I are going to be moving from Philadelphia to Raleigh, North Carolina. After a lot of prayer and tough decision making Anna and I decided that our time here in Philly was coming to an end and that the Lord had some new things in store for us, one which involved me going back to school. It is something that we are very excited about but at the same time we are very sad to leave a place and a people that we love so very much. Both of us have grown so much through our time here in Philadelphia. The Lord has led us through so many adventures here. We got to see God's heart for his people here, watched peoples lives be dramatically changed by Him, and this is also place where we first met as well. So to say the least Philadelphia is a very special place for both of us.

With that said ministry has continued on even though my blogging skills happen to stop for awhile. Some updates from ministry include giving out 32 turkeys to families for thanksgiving which was cool to see, hitting an all-time record of a busy day at the food cupboard by giving out 60 bags of food and my favorite of the past month was getting to go out with Anna and her afterschool kids on a bowling outing. It was the first time I got to meet all the new kids from this year, which I must say are some very sweet kids.

We do have some really big changes coming up in our lives, ones that I don't think either of us know how to handle. In the mean time we are just going to soak up all the Lord has to offer us here in Philly. I will try to get a little better a my blogging skills as I have sort of gotten a handle on managing my online classes because well they are almost over. While we are still here we will continue to try to update you as much as possible with the wonderful things the Lord is doing here in Philadelphia.
