Well, it’s official. We’re moving.

Last week, I accepted the position of pulpit minister at the Round Rock Church of Christ in Round Rock, TX (just outside of Austin).

I’m thrilled.

Don’t get me wrong—leaving the people we love here in Henderson (Jennifer’s parents and my best friend, just to mention a few) will be difficult.

Tears will be shed.

But Jennifer and I have lived long enough to know that when God calls you to be a part of what He’s doing, you don’t want to miss it. Answering His call will be worth whatever it costs us.

Over the past several months, I’ve felt strongly drawn back into preaching. I feel I’m at my best when I’m serving God in that role, and it excites me to no end that He’s chosen to bless me with an opportunity to fulfill that calling.

In our brief (but surprisingly extensive) interaction with the Round Rock church, we’ve found it to be a family of Christ followers who have a sincere desire to draw close to God and to share His love with their community and the world.

I couldn’t ask for anything more.

In my conversations about the RR church, I’ve found myself saying multiple times that we’ve met so many people who just seem to have God spilling out of them.

I can’t wait to get wet.
