A New Life
4 Jun
As my due date quickly approaches (JULY 24), I am realizing that my life will never be the same. It is a new life in every sense of the phrase – a new life in my baby girl, a new life for me, a new life for Mark.
Besides the most obvious of having a baby this summer, here’s what’s also changing and brewing:
- We are leaving our beloved church family at ORCC to following God’s calling to help start a church plant – Life Song Worship Center. Kick off day is Sept. 13th.
- Mark will be leaving his job that he loves in order for us to plant this church. Appliance repair anyone?
- I have started to fervently pursue my Wedding Hair and Makeup business. I’m booked almost every weekend through the end of September (except for 6 weeks where I’ll be home with baby June.) Check out my humble beginnings: Wedding Hair and Makeup
- Every room in our house has been reorganized and flooded with baby stuff. June already has more belongings than Mark and I combined. It’s like we are living in a new house.
That’s really all for now. We desperately need your prayers. The things listed above are requiring a huge amount of sacrifice, tears, and commitment from us. We won’t give up, we won’t back down, we won’t relent.
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me if only I can finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me…the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. -Acts 20:24 (I have this verse tattooed on my wrist…it has never meant more to me than right now).
great post and great verse judi.

Hey Judi:
I have been a blogging friend of Mark’s for few years. He and the Hosh keep in touch w/me. I am a pastor/planter and Bible teacher in CA. i serve on the leadership fora network of church plants. Marrk mentiioned a bit about your new adventure on a facebook post, so i thought i would check your blog since there wasn’t any news about it on his.
So I am glad i found this post.
My wife and i will be praying a smooth as possible transition time.
Let us know anything we can do.
