If anybody ends up reading this it might be a miracle! I’ve taken two weeks or so off of writing and have changed web addresses! It’s official…www.urbanidealist.com is up and running. So if you subscribed to my old blog you’ll need to change the address in your web reader or on your bookmark.
A quick summary of life the past four weeks…packed up an apartment, said goodbyes to some really good people and a community we love, flew 10.5 hours to the States, and spent 2 weeks in beautiful Colorado with family. I didn’t realize how badly I needed to slow down and rest (emotionally and physically) until it actually happened. Our lives over the past 9 months have been pretty heavy and my mind was constantly trying to process all that was going on. It wasn’t until our annual conference that God gave me a real peace and confidence as to where we at and what was happening in our lives, but right after that we had to get to packing…so it wasn’t until we got here that I’ve really been able to rest in the peace I had found…so I feel good now!
Right now, I’m sitting in a Panera Bread in Mechanicsville, Virginia getting on a wireless signal for the first time in a couple of days. It’s been really great to get to see our family here for the first time in 3 years and especially for Maisie to get to meet to everybody! I’m speaking at a Roanoke Bible College on Friday and we’re having a big family gathering that night. My mom will be here when we get back from the college; it was great timing to be able to see her here! We’ll be here until the 25th, and then we’ll be off to Portland.
So, I’ll be back to my normal topics soon…I hope you enjoy the new look and feel of the blog…I’m still working on some of the extra content as I can. Talk to you soon!
I still think you need to come to Texas, y’all. Seriously!
Yes! I found you! Nice site Justin. It’s good to have you writing again after your much needed rest. Enjoy your time with family…give my best to all….
Look forward to seeing you on Friday. It’s been a while.
