old friends and new

tomorrow keri and i are getting away for the weekend with 6-7 other families. we're going to a lake house on lake travis near austin. with our kids (almost 4 and 2) and keri's pregnancy (now...17 weeks along?), it's going to be a little bit of an adventure, especially with 20+ folks in one big house! might be closer to a bad reality t.v. show than healthy community, but...

this is definitely a big part of our journey right now. we've been blessed with the most amazing friends, several of whom we've been doing life with right here in our community these last few years. and yet now God is inviting us, calling us to begin new relationships with a new church family right here in the same corner of the universe. we barely know most of the folks we're getting away with, and i'm counting on us barely knowing most of the many people who journey with us and ecclesia clear lake....and yet i'm so excited!

definitely not "out with the old, in with the new!" i'm anticipating the joy of maintaining rich friendships with several folks and enjoying many rich, new friendships in this new season.

regardless....God is good and is clearly calling me and my family into this new season....this new community....this new movement of people.

and i'm excited!
