We're moving!

A letter that began this way made our week:

Dear Shawn,

Congratulations! It's such a joy to let you know that your application for admission to the Master of Arts in Media and Communications program has been approved! We are looking forward to your enrollment as a new student at Dallas Theological Seminary in the Spring 2010 semester.

That's right. We're moving to Texas!

We've been praying about what the Lord's next step is for us in life and ministry, and we are thrilled that the doors have opened for Shawn to attend seminary. It is a 2-year program where he will further his studies in worship arts to hopefully work with the worship ministry at a church someday. He is so cut out for this program.

Not only are we excited about DTS, but we are excited to move to Dallas! It will be quite an extreme change (climate, culture, being back in school), but we're ready for the adventure.

As for details, it looks like we'll be here in Chicago until sometime in November, then we will stay in Nashville for a few weeks as we transition. Shawn needs to be at school on January 7. As you think of us, please pray that it would be a smooth transition time and the Lord would lead us to the right jobs and housing.

We're taking a big step of faith, but we hold to the promise that He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3). We are so grateful for this opportunity and can't wait to see what He has for us in these upcoming months!
