Change

Today is the first big step to a huge change for us - Brock's last day of work at Polaris. Soon we will be saying goodbye to MN and heading to MT. We are excited because we know that this is God's leading and we know this is His will for us. However, while knowing that gives us the confidence to take the steps it doesn't take the emotions away. We will be leaving so many awesome friends, our church, our first home, our first business, the only place our kids know as "home" and taking with us unending memories of happiness. While my heart is heavy with sadness for what we must say goodbye to it is filled with joyful anticipation for what God has for us in MT.Brock went to ID this last spring for work and was able to ride with a photographer. He sent us lots of awesome pictures of Brock riding.

I am very proud of Brock, proud of him for leaving the comforts of his job and setting out on a new adventure. This new adventure means he will learn a new job and reenter that uncomfortable time of being the rookie and not knowing exactly what you are doing. He could continue doing what is known or what is comfortable but it is more important to him to follow God than take the "easy" road. That is one of the many reasons I love him and am proud of him, he is leading our family as he follows God's leading.

I can't imagine doing this - it is scary just to look at :-) It is an awesome picture though isn't it?

I guess riding sideways is as fun as flying through the air!!

What a cool guy I am married to :-)

The picture of Brock heading up the hill and going over (bottom left) reminds me of what this journey to MT could be like - if we didn't have God. Doing it without HIM would feel like going over the hill without knowing if a cliff or valley lies beyond. However, when you trust your life to God and let Him lead it doesn't matter what is below. If it is a cliff - hang on, stay focused and keep following HIM. I have learned through experience that I would rather follow HIM down a cliff than take the easy road without Him. This truth has only become even clearer to us on this 2 year process of deciding to make this move.
