Where We are Moving

Hello to All!
It appears that I haven't made it clear exactly where we are moving and what we are doing. At the beginning of this spring semester, as we started thinking more seriously of our future after Heston's graduation, we started asking about full-time positions here at Northland for Heston. However, God had other plans. Josh Beers, who is at Lancaster Bible College, called Heston and asked him if he would be intersted in a Sports Information Director Position at LBC. We didn't know what to think as we thought we would be here at Northland for years to come. But as we begin to talk about it with others and received prayer and much counsel, we realized that God specifially opened that door of ministry to us. Heston went out and interviewed the beginning of May and accepted the position.

It will be very hard for us to leave Northland, as this has been our home for the past 4 years of married life and then our school for the 3 years before that. We are eternally grateful for the friends we have made, for the decisions that we have made and for all of the lessons that we have learned. We are so thankful for the years that we have spent here at Northland and are excited to see how God is going to use that training in our future.

We are excited to be a part of a new ministry and also to be close to Heston's side of the family. We are praying for the quick sale of our house so we can get settled in Lancaster.

We are looking forward to catching up with all of our friends who live in PA. Please pray for us as we are packing up tomorrow night and then starting the long trek out to PA on Friday morning.

Wow, how exciting! Thanks for sharing all that with us. I'm sure you all will miss nbbc but it sounds like you'll be going to very similar environment. I'll help you pray for the sale of your house. If you need to stop in Ohio during your trek, you can crash at our place!

I'll be praying for you guys as you move and sell your house. I know how hectic it can be trying to pack things up. Have a safe trip, and I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures of your new place.

Hope everything goes smoothly for you guys!
When you get settled in your new place, let me know. Maybe we can meet up at Shady Maple. It's a humongous PA Dutch smorgasbord. :)
You'll be in shock moving from Dunbar to Lancaster. Imagine outlets, all sorts of stores & restaraunts just minutes away!

What a great opportunity for ministry! I'm happy for you both. I've never been to Lancaster, but I would love to go sometime.
