It has been way too long since writing a blog on our personal blog. I decided to check the rest of our friends blog I have the links to on our page and most people have stopped blogging a year+ ago besides 4 or 5 of our friends. My educated guess is that Facebook has taken over and with updating every day or every week for most people who needs a blog. Well I would like to start back up. I don't know how often I/we will be writing but it is nice to try again.
This is a new season for Joel and I. This is a huge transitional time for Joel and I. We are stepping down from a lot of responsiblities at our church and training people to do what we have been doing.
Supplying Needs is also transitioning in a lot of ways and it is all in all a hard season of transition.
Out of everyone I know that has transitioned in life it is never an easy period. Unknowns, good-byes, starting overs, so on and so forth. It is uncomfortable.
Today I finally realized it was the transition that has had me really down. I have been feeling almost depressed you could say. Which is very unusual for me. Though as I get older I feel a bit more moody than I ever wanted to be but in this case I was feeling super down and even not wanting to leave my bed. VERY WEIRD. Though I never gave into those feelings it was still there pressing me down.
Well after much thought and prayer I realized it was because of all the transitioning and letting go, mostly at church. I am no longer on the 7 event team, I am training a man to be over friday night services that I did all last year, I am training a woman to be over adopt-a-block, and I am slowing backing away from other things at church. I didn't realize the affect it has had on me. Didn't see how much I loved doing what I did at church even though it was hard to commit to so many things with so much demand.
By the end of March I will be hands free. I am hoping the transition to leave our church will come soon after that. I am still waiting on Joel to decide when we leave to start our new adventure. I hope it is not too long I hate to think I would be just sitting doing little, we will see.
Other than that life is life. Not much more to say.
Thanks for reading my ramble. Hopefully the next one will be a bit more exciting. LOL

I think we all have our down days and or times when things just feel rough and unknown, you are right though to keep going even when all you want to do is stay in bed and never get up.
It's good to have you back! Keep up the blogging! I still blog and very seldomly right things on facebook because I know that those closest to me, Mainly my family, still want to know what is going on with me on a personal level and not the everyday stuff that I or other people put on their facebook status's. I can share my deep feelings without worrying that someone is going to say a rude comment because only those that care about me look at my blog...for the most part. So, keep it up, I am interested and here!
Hi Dessy,
Thanks for sharing your posts. Did you notice how your most recent post mentioned not wanting to be sitting around with nothing to do if there's a gap b/w finishing and starting churches, while the post before it talked about not having enough time, being so busy?
It can be hard to not be doing anything, but sometimes God makes us rest up. To smell the roses (not because we're unappreciative), for our bodies to take care of themselves, to have a bit of time for ourselves.
Love ya.
