Minnesota Bound!



As the image of our home with a For Sale sign in the front yard would imply, we are in the process of "coming home". 11 years ago God led us to Bluffton. Since we arrived, I have always fished for opportunities in Minnesota, but nothing was ever available until now. With the benefit of hindsight, His use of us here can be seen when we reflect on our lives. The reason there were never any opportunities for me in Minnesota was because He needed us here longer for reasons we never could never have imagined. The opportunity in Minnesota is with Allina, and I will be working in the Northwest region. I am humbled by His greatness in my life, and how all things work together for His good. I am very grateful for my time in Bluffton and am sad to leave my practice, and all the wonderful people I have worked with. There are innumerable unknowns that accompany this transition, and we continue to pray and ask for wisdom and guidance as we move forward. I look forward to spending time with my brother and parents, which has been very minimal for the past 17 years. This move will place us within 1 hour of all extended family, which even for those not good with math, is less than 12 hours. We pray that proximity will present opportunity to grow and strengthen relationships that have struggled due to the distance.

I am just now catching up on your blog. Wow, a move! We just moved back to KS in August and are loving being close to family! I think you will, too. We are long overdue for a catch up conversation! Much love to your whole family!
