"...We're goin' to Jackson and that's a fact..."

Well, I've been on a little bit of a blogging hiatus as life has simply been busy. A lot of things have been happening for Nathan and I. 

On March 19th Nathan interviewed for a professor position at Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi. We had spent the previous day exploring the city and soaking up as much as possible. Everything we saw, we just loved and made us excited to get on Belhaven's campus, meet the people and see what the university was about.

As we headed home that evening we both reflected on our visit to Jackson and Belhaven and felt confident and at peace about the situation. With a heads up from the Department Chair regarding the slow moving process of hiring faculty, we knew patience was essential to see if the door the Lord kept opening, was indeed the door we would end up walking right on through. 

The very next evening Nathan was offered the position at Belhaven. Though we took a couple days before officially accepting the position, we both had a peace from the Lord that we would be moving to Jackson. There are lots of decisions to be made as we make the transition to Jackson this Summer but we are grateful for the amazing opportunity the Lord has provided. 


In preparation we've been enjoying the voices of Johnny Cash and June Carter in the song Jackson.
