What we've been waiting for.

Last night our church voted to elect this man to be our next Senior Pastor!!
We are THRILLED--God is so good and faithful.

I have to laugh at the timing of it all. Apparently, he was our search committee's first choice two years ago and he told them "no" over and over. The timing just wasn't right for him, his family, or his church in Orlando. I'm so glad God is leading him our way now. Mark shared with us the elders' perspective on his leaving UPC. They told him, "We are sending you to Colorado. We are in this with you." Isn't that beautiful? The church is HUGE and God just moves His people around.

Bryan is so excited to get to work under Mark. They share many of the same passions and it will just be good to be under someone older and wiser. We are looking forward to this next season of our lives!

"For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies."

Isn't it incredible to see God at work? We too are excited for our new pastor.
When do I get to see that sweet baby of yours again? Don't you just love baby girls?
