The Lord is good. Oh so good! Graham and I have been feeling for about a year now that the Lord has really been stirring in our hearts and preparing us for a season of change and transition. Throughout that time, we have been praying for the Lord to show us what exactly this looks like for our family and clear guidance on how to follow Him through this. There have been several different opportunities come up. Some we knew were not right for us immediately, but others we really spent time praying about and considering. We were about one second away from accepting a job in College Station, Texas - we WANTED to do this, but we did not feel a peace from the Lord that this is where He wanted us. That was hard...really hard...especially when it was an incredible opportunity for Graham and our family.
But, the Lord is ever faithful...
Graham was approached about a job at a church here in town and through many interviews, meetings, and most of all, prayers...the Lord made it oh so clear that this is where He desires us to be for this time in our lives. We could not be more EXCITED for this new opportunity and step of faith for our family!
Graham is now serving as the Discipleship Pastor at Valleydale Church here in Birmingham. It is truly a perfect fit for him and our family. The church has been more than welcoming to us, and already made us feel right at home!
It was a bittersweet time as Graham left Student Life. He had served there for almost 10 years, and we have so many incredible memories from our time there. We met each other and our best friends there, and are beyond thankful to the Lord for that season of our lives!
That being said, it was time for a change and praise God for bringing about this opportunity in His perfect timing.
If you are in Birmingham and are looking for a church home, please come visit Valleydale! We would LOVE to welcome you there and walk alongside you in life!
