A New Beginning.....

For the last 5 months or so we, as a family, have felt disconnected and not sure where God was directing us or what the future looked like. I guess all along we kind of knew but we weren't 100% on board with God's plan. So... we tried to come up with every excuse, commitment, and reason to go a different direction than what God wanted for us. One by one, God removed all our "other" things so that it was clear just where we were supposed to be. But today the direction is clear. God is directing us down a road that although clear still has many unanswered questions. We are excited to see how God will be using us in this new chapter of our lives and excited to see what He has in store for us.

So starting this fall, Eric and I along with our friends, the Davis' will be starting our own mini-church. We were hoping that many of our friends from our old mini-church would come along for the ride, however that does not seem to be the case (but if any of our "old" group still isn't connected, we'd LOVE to have you ! :o) ). So, although the picture isn't totally clear, we look forward to new friendships and new relationships that God will be planting in our lives. We've been in contact with a few families that we know, and so perhaps there will be some familiar faces with us as we move on.

Although much still has to been planned and ironed out, the details seem to be coming together. Please pray for the 4 of us as we seek God's direction and obey His call.

Ryan and are thrilled that you're talking this step "out of the boat". We are excited to walk along side you. We can't wait to see where the Lord takes you and how you both grow as a result.

YIPPEE!!! I was hoping your families would make this decision. The four of you will do such a great job tag teaming with leadership and hosting.

I even think having you're group filled with new faces may be the best thing for the cohesiveness of the new members...it will keep any of them from feeling like third wheels.

You guys will be in my prayers as you prepare for this new role. So is it the Davis/Fueger mini church, or the Fueger/Davis mini church. Maybe a combo...the Davers mini church, or the Fuegis.
