A Weekend in Tennessee


This past weekend Laura and I went back to Tennessee for the first time since our move to New Jersey. We were in town because our friends Tony and Krista were getting hitched. Seems like a lot of folks have been doing this sort of thing lately. We had a great trip for two reasons. One it was great to see friends and family and have a chance to catch up in person as opposed to over the phone or email. We enjoyed talking with everyone and thanks to all who asked about how things are up here. It was energizing for both Laura and I to know that so many people are thinking about us and praying for Jacob's Well. Secondly, during our trip both Laura and I felt much affirmation from God that New Jersey is truly where He would have us. It is easy for the enemy to place doubts in ones head about decisions made to serve the Lord, but being in Tennessee gave us much clarity of the need for the gospel in the Northeast and some motivation to take back with us to New Jersey. We ask that you continue to pray for us and the mission http://www.jacobswellnj.org/vision/2007/05/mission_statement.php of Jacob's Well.
