We will be moving to Lincoln, Nebraska this upcoming August 2009.
Praise God for his guidance and blessings (even when they're a bit confusing). The week after we moved into our home, we got news that Jon had been nominated as a candidate for a clerkship with the federal judge on the 8th circuit court. When he told me, I was excited, but really had no idea what that meant. Come to find out, it was a pretty big deal..... and it would require us to move to Nebraska!! (of all places!) The last time that we visited my family (who live in Nebraska), I felt a need to be closer to them. I prayed that God would either change my heart, or open Jon's to the idea, and right when I least expected it, he provided. It was not something that Jon could pass up, so after interviewing in Lincoln, and waiting a few days, it was official..... he had gotten the job!!
So, that takes us to where we are now. We've prayerfully decided to keep our house in Indiana at this point because the job is only a 1-2 year position. This takes me to our prayer requests: We are going out to visit this upcoming weekend and I will be interviewing for 2 internships. First, please pray for guidance and wisdom on those decisions and that they will accept me for the positions. Secondly, please pray that God will begin to lead us toward a home in Lincoln.
We have such mixed emotions about the move. We are sad to leave our home, our family, and the community we have built here, but they've promised to keep our spots for when we get back. We are also so excited to see how God will use us in Lincoln and we are very excited to be close to our Nebraska family, our Wyoming families, and to be a good stop for Katie and Shane and for Andy and Megan.
Thanks in advance for your prayers, and we'll keep you updated!!
