Not that I think many of you are tossing and turning as you sleep because we haven't updated this blog in a couple months. But it does sit in my mind, waiting to be written on. And so, I apologize for the delay! But in return, I am going to give everyone a big, giant (summarized) update of what BRICK (that's us) are up to. And then, moving forward we will stay updated and blogs will overflow! (That's the plan, anyway.)
As most of you know, at the present time, I (Brit) live in Chicago, and he (Nick) lives in Arizona. Nick graduated from North Park University in December and on January 1st he moved out to Mesa for a full-time 3rd quarter substitute teaching job at Redeemer Christian School. He has been molding the young minds of a 3rd and 4th grade class ever since! Most excitingly, he loves it. Loves teaching, loves kids, and really feels confident in this calling on his life. We couldn't be more pumped for him. (And my parents get the joy of having him in their home!)
Me, 1700 miles away, besides missing my beloved each day, am doing my thing at Starbucks and finishing up my LAST SEMESTER AT NEIU!!! (That totally deserved caps.) I am painting like a mad woman, and soaking in every word in my last art history class. I am preparing for my senior show in June, after I walk in May! My friends here have been overwhelmingly supportive and cuddly while Nick has been gone and I find myself volunteering for everything in between.
I am shaving my head in solidarity with kids that have cancer on March 17th (St. Patty's Day) in Arizona! And that will also conclude Nick's stay in Arizona, for now. Counting down the days!!
I am in the middle of a transition out of the worship leader position at our church (which means I lead once a month, and help out in between)....because.....we are very officially moving to Arizona in June. Yep! This couldn't be more exciting for Nick and I. We feel confident and at peace with where God is moving us.
Lots of transitions and in betweens for us now. Living day to day in the middle of it all is not always easy. We are being uprooted from where we have been, and curious about where are roots will go when we settle again. The whole process is stretching us in ways we wouldn't have expected. But we do rest in knowing we can be content where we are now, and look forward to where we will be soon. All in time.
