Moving to Seattle is exciting and fresh. We have already been here 5 months! The great news is we are starting to build our lives up here a little more everyday. Starting work, school, and most awesomely our community group. We are at Mars Hill Church, learning and growing. The day my mom and sister left, Justin and I were bummed and really missing home. So we decided to go to the 5 o'clock service when we usually go to the 11 AM service. So we get there and the message was on JOY. Having JOY. It couldn't have been more clear what God was teaching us. Then during the time we are supposed to meet and greet we turn around and met Jared and Sarah. They invited us for drinks and appetizers. We hit it off. We have been going to the community group ever since (the end of august). We have had a lot of fun times and are excited to keep making friends.
Our school has been a little discouraging in the theology department. TheDIScouragement is ENcouraging us to stay in the Word. Being here in Seattle, seeing what they teach in public schools and what our school is believing, it reminds me to take the bible and Jesus seriously. There are so many skewed beliefs. Rather than building up there students they seem to think little of those that have faith. We hope to be a light to this dark city. Even though we are not in full-time ministry we are still responsible for the flock given to us. Me and Justin are excited and thankful to be at a University, especially in beautiful Seattle. The colors of the leaves are changing and we are experiencing a "real fall". It is cold and crisp. It rained today, so refreshing.
On a lighter note we put our zoo passes to good use and had a great time together. Here are some pictures:
