After two weeks in Kentucky, I thought I would bless Ya’ll with an Update from “My Old Kentucky Home”. It has been an adventure and journey thus far with mixed emotions and overarching smiles along the process. Obviously, I posted this a little late being the fact I have officially been in Kentucky almost a month now, needless to say I am trying to get caught up on being a Blogger.
Here are a few bullet points & highlights so far:
· March Madness in “Big Blue Nation” is the talk of the Town, Not to mention that the Kentucky Wild Cats are Headed to the Final Four (C-A-T-S…CATS CATS CATS). Oh and I didn’t even realize that March Madness was abounding until I stepped off the Plane in Kentucky on March 12th. My first week on the job we left work early to have team building over Basketball, which is an adjustment after acclimating to Texas Football.
· My Office is Decorated which makes things feel more like Home. At Appliance Park, the red carpet is not rolled out with Fancy Offices; one must search to acquire anything decent. I know have matching brown leather chairs and brought in personal Art Work – so I have room to entertain many individuals. But all in all nothing Fancy.
· My New Job is going be really enjoyable. After a hard first week – the Lord revealed a couple of others believers on the Merchandising Team. I felt like I was in Babylon without anyone on this adventure with me. I found out this weekend there is also a guy on Staff that is up for Eldership Candidacy at the Church I am attending. Yeah GOD.
· My New Roommates aka Jeff & Sallye Smith aka my parents are so Fun. After almost 3 years of seeing them maybe 4 to 6 times a year for brief visits, I am really enjoying my time with them. I definitely feel a little loss of independence in not having my Own Place but it makes up for free dinners and a free place. I have still looking for someone to sublease my house in Dallas until July 31st. If you know of anyone looking that would be great? $500 bucks a Month – is cheap for Dallas.
· Community Community Community – The Lord has abundantly provided. I have tried out two groups thus far. One consisted of friends from High School and College which made it really easy. The other one consisted of more mere acquaintances. I think I am going with the 2nd – there are a few girls that have lived in Dallas and we have several mutual friends in common. And funny thing there is Fellow in the Group from my College a years - He stepped around the corner last week with the phrase,” I thought I recognized that Voice”. I may try another group before making a decision where to Commit, but as we say at Watermark in Dallas – “God doesn’t cease to SHOW UP”
· Sojourn Community Church will be my New Church Home. The church I grew up in Southeast Christian Church helped fund this Church 10 years ago, and it’s beautiful to see how its grown within the Community to reach the desolate and forgotten about areas of the City. They just added their 4th Campus in New Albany, IN and God just provided 2 Million for the Building Campaign of the New Main Campus. God is making it Home, I am praying about where to serve at the moment. The whole church during Lent’s goal is to memorize Romans 8.
· Connecting – #1 Priority; Imagine that. I attended a Women’s Retreat with 187 Ladies from Church. It was such a treat and a great time to Reconnect to Friends in Louisville. The Lord continues to reveal why he has brought me Home after His Equipping in Dallas. It’s been fun to reconnect with Girls from College and High School and the Lord continues to surprise me with the Ways he is shaping it. I met some new girls this weekend as well..
