It is a choice to enjoy the unknown instead of being afraid of it.

Its a choice to embrace an adventure and celebrate the freedom instead of dwelling on decisions that were made for me; a choice to believe that God is faithful and that even when circumstances change, He doesn’t.

This is a fresh start…a clean slate…a new beginning for us.  And as we move on, I’m reminded that the end of my time at Axiom is the end of a chapter, but not the end of a book.  Axiom was a crossroads for so many people in my life and their stories, but it was not the destination.  Looking back on my three years there, I’m overwhelmed with how much I love these students.  I am so blessed to have had such a unique window into their lives during such a transformational time for them.  I’m honored to have ministered both alongside and to them and I truly believe that they will change the world.  I can honestly say that I gave Axiom my best and I’m so thankful for what God has allowed me to be a part of and the lessons I’ve learned there.

These students are a part of my story.  I am a part of theirs.  That doesn’t change.  And I’m deeply thankful for that.

Now that we’ve left Axiom, Crystal and I have no idea what’s next.  We don’t know what’s next, but we don’t feel lost.  We find ourselves praying for certainty, though not necessarily clarity.  I don’t need to see everything, but my heart longs for the gut feeling of being where God wants me.  So we’re trying to maintain a posture of openness as we sort through our next steps, whether they take us near or far or somewhere in between.

And wherever God takes us, I’m looking forward to what He has in store for us.  I’m confident that He’ll continue to use me and allow me to serve Him, whatever that may look like.

We’re free to roam.
