i want to apologize for going so dark on the whole blog front. things have been a little crazy as we have tried to get settled in, here in austin. actually we are not in austin, just a little bit closer to austin. i never realized the truth of that until having been here for a little over a month i can count on one hand the number of times i have actually been in central austin. that said we are a step closer and will be making an even bigger step as we are starting to look at places in and around the downtown area.
our time in apartment life taught us that the most natural way to build relationships with people is to live life alongside of them. that is why we are anxious to get to downtown and begin living life alongside those we hope to minister to. i took an important step this week as i am looking to get on with a nice restaurant in downtown. i believe that this restaurant could provide the kind of income to make the move to downtown possible even prior to being at full support. i am cautiously optimistic that God will use this to facilitate our move.
in other happenings, i have made a few contacts that could prove very helpful in building a core group for the table. we will just have to see where these conversations go and how God uses them to bring to fruition the vision that He has given to me.
until the next installment... God bless
