We're headed to New Jersey this weekend for my sister's wedding. I am so excited to be with my family. They really know me and love me. I didn't expect the loneliness I'm feeling here. The fact that I can go an entire day and not talk to anyone in person is depressing. God has given us a great team of people to start this church with, so it's not like I'm alone. It's hard to put it into words.
Please pray for me. It's not like I'm spending the day in bed or even having bad days. It's just this general sense of "blah..." I'm passionate about our ministry and plans in Vegas. I know without a shadow of a doubt that God wants us here. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that Satan is on the move in my life.
I was prepared for the big attacks; it's the little ones that have caught me off guard. I think the same could be said for just about all of us who have moved here. Some of us haven't gotten the jobs we hoped we'd get, others are struggling financially, we're homesick, our marriages are struggling, and that's just the beginning!
Thankfully in the end God always wins! Even though we are each struggling in different areas, we know that it will be OK. God's got our back and we are "more than conquerors."
And so are you!

Praying for you Jen...remember, you reminded me when we moved that the first 6 months is the hardest...you guys are going to do great and I'm convinced that you will make great friends there. How could those peeps not love you! Miss you like crazy! Have fun with the fam!
Praying for you.
If Satan isn't attacking you, then you must not be doing anything. So something Big is just around the corner. Stay focused on the prize,
"Well Done My good and Faithful Servant" This church planting wife from Georgia is praying for you!
