We Will Miss All Yall!!!

To our TPCC family- We are going to miss each one of you so much! So many of you have blessed our lives and your friendships have made our lives fuller! Please know that we sincerely look forward to having company and if any of you would like to come to Austin and stay at the Jordan Inn, we would LOVE to have you! Rawsons, Harleys, Steph & Kelly, Carters, Evanses- I am counting on you guys to follow through and come see us so I can see a familiar friendly face soon!!!
Today was such a day of mixed emotions. We know we are going where God has called us for this time, but that really didn't make it any easier to hug your necks without sobbing!! Aaron's message is really just sticking with me- live for the line and not just the dot. That applies to everything we think and do. This move is really not about me or us as a family. It is about God and eternity and what He is asking us to do to forward His kingdom. He is calling us to Austin and to Hill Country Bible Church so that we can be used in the ministries they have to reach every man, woman, and child in the greater Austin area. So it really doesn't matter that moving is hard and leaving people you love is even harder (and doing any of the above 4 weeks post-reconstructive foot surgery is NOT something I would recommend!). But what matters is going where God has called us so that people in Austin will hear the gospel and possibly make a decision to change where they will spend eternity on the line once their teeny tiny dot of a life is over.
So tonight we are surrounded by hundreds of boxes holding all our treasures (anyone else get caught off guard by Aaron reminding us that all of our treasures- even our bodies- eventually end up in boxes???! I never thought of that!) And what I MUST remember as we pull out tomorrow is that what really matters is keeping Christ the center and focus of my life and treasuring that above ALL else.
So, good night one last time from Indianapolis, Indiana. (where is it FREEZING outside, I might add!!!) :)
