If you would have asked me a few years ago where I would be today, it would have been no where near where I am now. I probably would have told you that I would have finished college and been in a masters program for Christian Counseling being independent and making my way in the world. I dont want to say that these aspirations changed completely, I have finished my bachelors, I am planning on beginning my Master's very soon, and I am making my way in the world with the best partner God could have given me, my husband Corey. We have a pretty fun story but the best part is that God brought us together at a time in which we least expected it- a time when we had both very recently given our dating lives over to Him completely. Through talking about the "coinsidence" (a.k.a God-insidence) of how we met we have now taken the journey all the way back to me beginning Pre-school early and Corey starting a little late. God had us picked for each other when we were still in diapers. This was the first door the Lord opened that we, truthfully, had no problem walking through. After dating for only a year we got engaged and another year later in Oct. 2011 (after I graduated college- a stipulation from my mother :) we got married; a door we happily ran through! At somepoint during our engagement Corey told me he had been called to full time ministry, what he didn't know is that I had known this would be his path since we met. As you may or may not know Corey is very musically talented (part of how we met) and had been in a band that lead worship for churches and youth events several states over. I thought at this point we would have our jobs during the week and be traveling to different places letting the guys play music on weekends. This was my thought even after we got married, up until December when I got a call from Pastor Tim asking for Corey's phone number.... Back tracking for just a second, two things you should know about me are I said I would never do 2 things--I would never marry a preacher and I would never move back to Henderson. Well .......God finds humor in our plans and he sure thought it was funny that I was going to let Him know what I wasn't going to do. So, as several doors that I will elaborate on later have been opened that is exactly where I am, I'm married to an Associate Pastor and I am moving back to Henderson. To be honest- I am scared to death and could not be happier to know that we are in the center of God's will and have an opportunity to make a huge impact for God. If you would have asked me a few years ago where I'd be today- it certainly would not be here, however I am incredibly thankful to be here and now I couldn't imagine being anywhere else.
It is my firm prayer for me and Corey and for everyone else that we seek God and prepare our hearts to hear and our feet to go where God leads us with out question. I look forward to this journey taking one step at a time.
