Season of Change

It is hard to believe that it has been almost three months since I have made a post.  So much has happened in our lives in the last three months.  Most of you know that Mike and I started praying last summer for the Lord to clarify our next step.  Our passion for the Church has been increasing greatly over the past few years and we feel that God has clearly begun to move us in that direction!  In January, Mike and I went down to Orlando, FL to interview for a City Groups pastor job at a PCA Church in downtown Orlando.  With no expectations and trusting that the Lord would lead, Mike was offered a part-time job at the church.   That was the first confirmation along our journey to Orlando. There is a great seminary in Orlando, RTS, that Mike will also be attending.  His goal is to get a Masters of Divinity and possibly a  degree in counseling.  

Our next step was to put our house on the market and trust that even with the economy the way it is that our house would sale.  Only by God's grace only two weeks after being on the market it SOLD.  With that said we are SOLD that God is leading us to Orlando.  We are thankful for all of your prayers and ask that you would continue to pray for His leading as we make our final preparations.

I can't remember if I mentioned last time but we are also expecting baby number two in July.  That is just one more interesting aspect of our move! We are super excited to be welcoming a baby boy to the Boland household. Avery is elated.

This is Avery on her pet Shampoo! This whale has been taking up a large section of our living room. He also has to sleep in the guest bed at night.  Unfortunately, when we put our house on the market Shampoo had to move to the garage.

Avery with her good friend Madison dressed up like little Princesses.  She told us a few weeks ago that she wants to be a princess when she grows up. I guess we are moving to the right city!

Our little Ham!  She has been so much fun lately and she never ceases to amaze us with the things she says. She is beginning to understand that we are moving and has been a little emotional.  We will really miss our friends here in North Carolina. 

It is hard to believe that the transition is happening so quickly.  We are thankful to have family and friends that are willing to pray with us and encourage us along the way.  Looking forward to including you in the next few months!
