It’s been a whirlwind year…
We bought a house in Nashville, not knowing we’d be moving to Lubbock six weeks later.
We moved to Lubbock, where Tim took the job of Student Pastor at Turning Point Community Church.
We found ourselves on a reality show on FYI, “My City’s Just Not That Into Me” which ended up being really ironic in hindsight.
We met a million lovely people in West Texas and got our fix of Friday Night Lights.
We got to be parents, if only for a short time.
We had two miscarriages.
I had surgery.
My next book is turned in and I’m excited for it’s release next year (5 Things Every Parent Needs to Know about Their Kids & Sex)
Tim resigned from his position in Lubbock.
We took our first vacation!
Our house in Nashville sold in four days! (Thank you for your prayers!)
Tim accepted a position in Peosta, IA (near Dubuque) as the Pastor to Students and Families at CrossRoads Church.
We will be moving to Dubuque in just one short month! We would greatly appreciate your prayers that our house in Lubbock sells soon.
When you live with your hands open and you are obedient, life gets unpredictable but the story gets more complex and wonderful. His thoughts are higher than ours. His ways our higher than ours. And He is ALWAYS faithful!

Anne, you said a mouthful! But know we’re extra glad Tim found another church. We’ve been praying daily for God to lead you in His next step. And we’ll keep on doing that.
Thank you always for your faithful prayers!
Hi Anne,
What a busy couple you have been. I’m sorry to hear about your loss and trust the Holy Spirit is strengthening, comforting and enabling with your bereavement. Congratulations on the release of your new book next year.

Welcome to the Midwest! I am in Nebraska, so not too far from you. But of course these states are endless to drive across. What a year you’ve had. I admire your obedience to God as you persevere. God bless!
Thank you, Jenni!
