so, maybe it's time for an update...

I feel like I've been so busy lately that I haven't taken any time to really keep up with anybody, which is a dumb move on my part. So, at least I can do a quick update on my blog for those of you that I haven't actually gotten the chance to connect with lately!

Where to start? Let's just jump right in...

As of May 12, I will no longer be employed at Buckhead Church. After a little over a year of being here (and what an amazing year it has been!), I am moving on to pursue other opportunities. For the past couple of months, I've been working with the Passion World Tour team to help prepare for the upcoming tour which is set to kick off in Kyiv, Ukraine on May 16th. In addition to all the logistics I've been helping with, I'm also on the Ukraine team and helping with the Uganda team. So, on May 12, I jump on a plane for Kyiv.

From there, I will be headed to....Stockholm, London, Uganda...and then probably Kenya.

I have the opportunity to potentially spend some extended time in Kenya helping an organization called BrightPoint for Children. Details of what I will be doing are still in the works and the whole trip, itself, is subject to change based on their needs. But, what an amazing opportunity it is...I am anxiously awaiting and praying through everything that is ahead on the road before me. God has astounded me with dreams and desires that I did not know I could have!

So, I know that is such a "big picture" of what lies ahead...but, that's where I am right now. I'll keep you posted as I find out more of what is to come. A lot of other big changes are going on right now, too, so if you would "say a little prayer for me", I'd SO appreciate it. I'm ok with the not knowing...I just want to be sure I'm walking the path I'm supposed to be walking!

Oh, and thanks for all the compliments on the haircut...I'm still getting used to it. :O)

I know we chatted about this before, but I wanted to make sure you knew that while I am sad to see you leave BC, I am excited that you'll be walking even closer to where you feel God wants to take you. I admire the many decisions you have made while not knowing what the future holds. You are truly following Christ and trusting him with the details. You are an example of service to us all.

I know I'm commenting on an old blog but I stumbled across your blog last week and when I saw the Buckhead Church category I looked around more.

I'm a Children's Minister at an almost 3-year old church plant in Baltimore (White Marsh) MD. We use North Point's model for children's ministry, partnering with Orange, and one of our key leaders attended North Point for a few years while her family lived in Atlanta.

If you ever have time to visit our church I'm always interested in hearing people's thoughts on our children's ministry and how we can improve. Especially with you having been on staff at Buckhead. Random request, I know. I hope you like Baltimore.
