Moving On
No, not from MMM. At least I don't think so. But I am moving. Taking a chance to follow a long time dream and vision that I've had to go to Charlotte and start that what will probably be the legacy of my family.
I'll be going with mobiles in hand (thanks Brighthand and Nokia's Blogger Relations). But more than that, I'm going with all that I've been learning for a long time (saved nearly 10 years). Going with a love of kids; a love of meeting people where they are and just living the Gospel beside them; a love of connecting churches and ignoring the divisions that sadden our Lord.
I've wrestled a lot with writing this on here. No, not because I didn't want to share it, but because I don't know how to share it. I'll be going with no job, not sure of where to live, and just enough faith for something to happen.
When I go there I feel at home. When I last visited there (last weekend), my heart was burdened with the attitude of the west side of the city. There were rich and poor, ethnicities of all kinds...and division. It's not me to want division. It's just my heart that we'd be on earth, as it is in heaven - united under God.
So I'm posting this now, in the mist of a service at my church where the former young adult pastor is speaking on a church planting vision. It burns in my heart. And I don't know how MMM will be effected. I don't even know if I will have the gumption to go. Yes, in two weeks I'm slated to move. In two weeks, I'm slated to meet a dream I've had for a long time, and further more of what God's talked to me about for years.
I ask for your prayers. I don't want to ask for much else. I don't really know what more to ask for except that I can walk with God in Charlotte. That I can be a light for my family now, and the family I wish to have. This move has been a bug for a long time, God said so at too many other times, and now I'm primed to move on.
Mobile ministry ...more than just a magazine to me; hence I'm moving on.

Well come on in the water is fine. I am actually not in Charlotte, but in the TV market area. We watch Charlotte TV up here in Burke County about an hours drive away. I just moved from Gaston County, Dallas to be specific, and have enjoyed living here in Central NC.
I hope God will be with you and I also pray that you find your calling there.
