After much thought and prayer, Keith and I have decided to move to Montgomery.¬† We have been living in Saraland, serving on staff @ Saraland First for the past year.¬† It’s always difficult leaving & saying goodbye. And moving is no fun.¬† Our stuff has been in storage most of the year since we sold our home in Fairhope in August, we have been staying with Keith’s parents.¬† It will be really nice to finally get back into our home and into our cozy bed.
We told the church about 2 weeks ago. and our last sunday is this weekend.  Our pastor told us to take whatever time we needed.  He said he knew we were about to leave that God had prepared him.  This has really been a good transition, which is what we were praying for.  This year has been a wonderful opportunity for us working at the church & getting to know everyone.  We are really sad to leave, I actually hate it!  It will be tough saying goodbye to all my new friends, and leaving his family after all this time.
Keith desires to go into full time Evangelism…meaning we will be traveling to different churches to help them for a season or maybe just for one sunday, teaching people about discipleship and evangelism (soul winning or salvation).¬†¬† Keith has noticed over the years that when he is in a church…he likes to work and get things done and most importantly he loves winning souls and discipleship.¬† He’s passionate that we are supposed to be reaching the lost and doing “work” for the Kingdom of God & preparing the church for His return.¬† Anyway, that’s his heart.¬† Mine is like-minded, I love traveling & supporting Keith. My heart & love is for foreign missionary endeavors and ministering to women & children.¬† I have learned that I get really disconnected doing the same thing all the time.¬† I crave a fast paced or rapidly changing environment & to be on the idea side vs. the implement side.¬† I’m more project oriented & I have a million things on my mind to start this new year – since so much has been on the back burner these past 12 months…
Graphic Design is one of them.  Since I purchased my new MacBookPro in August, my world has really expanded and I love the freedom of working remotely.  I plan to continue to dig into more of my creative design side, developing ads for small businesses and smaller jobs for individuals, event announcements, fliers, brochures, etc.
Most recently I’ve developed a love for writing “Heritage Books” or family memoirs.¬† It started with typing up my grandma’s stories & developing a family tree for Keith.¬† About two weeks after I started digging into his family tree, someone sent a packet to his parents house in search of developing the Hudson family tree.¬† He lives in Mississippi and is a distant-distant cousin, but it’s really cool to see all of the research he has uncovered.¬† This may also turn into a business for me or maybe just stay a hobby.
Mary Kay and MonaVie are still on my brain too!~  I do love sales and I love those products.  I will reactive both in January and get busy with beauty, from the inside out!
