While I try not to look at the past too much, sometimes it is good to take a look back and see where it is you've been. Since my last blog was in March, I'll pick things up there. The boys all played spring baseball... Colton on the Apopka high school team, Spencer had a great Jr's All-Star run (13-14 yr olds), and Tate's little league Mets team in coach pitch was a blast to watch!
But in mid-season, Kim was involved in an auto accident that nearly took her left arm, and very well could have taken her life. We are so blessed to still have Kim in our lives. While heading to work on a typical Monday morning, she flipped her truck and broke her left arm. To make a long story short, after a couple of surgeries, she is alive and doing well. God has kept her through everything, and the entire ordeal reminds us to trust in the Lord with all thine heart... and lean not to thine own understanding.
Here it is already November 2010, and our family is experiencing most exciting times of our lives! We've spent the last couple of years attending church in Oviedo, FL at Christian Life Center. During this time of transition, I've been able to build a model of evangelism through Blue Oceans Music by offering music education and watching it become a tool of outreach for the local community. It has been a very rewarding time for our family. God has moved in our lives and spoken to our hearts concerning His future intentions for us. After a long period of soul searching and seeking His perfect will, we have relocated Blue Oceans Music to Mt. Dora and also launched a new church plant there as well. LIFE Church is the result of God's perfect timing, His perfect plan unfolding, and Him being in control of our lives. He has surrounded us with a wonderful ministry team of friends who share the same vision and desire to reach out to others, while making a difference in people's lives. Already in six short weeks, we've seen numerous families come into the LIFE Church family... seeking more of Him. It seems that people have grown weary of religion. They are tired of seeing fake. We're just trying to keep it simple and keep it real. It seems the best is yet to come!

I'm Back!
I'm baaaaccckkkkk!~ I can't believe I haven't blogged since earlier in the year. But I have a very good reason. Things have been changing for the better in our lives... and blogging simply wasn't very high on the priority list. But now that things seem to smoothing out a bit, my intentions are to do more blogging and enjoy life to the fullest.
