I will get some pics on the way soon, but Jan, Harry(our little dog) and I have officially made the move to Santa Cruz. We have really been wrestling with where to put down roots and begin to be better at integrating all aspects of life towards God’s present Kingdom. Through much prayer, social research and vision for our specific role in participating in God’s mission, we have wound up here in S.C.
We have been searching for a LITTLE place for about 2 months now and it has been miserable. Lots of hope, followed by lots of disappointment. This last week we stumbled onto a little one bedroom house with a sweet patio in Seabright. It is right between Capitola and Downtown Santa Cruz.
I just went for a bike ride with Harry in the warm sun and could hear the sea lions as we are only about 6 blocks from the beach. We are feeling VERY blessed and hopeful at what is in store for us here.
We wrap up our time at Harbor Chapel this next month, which is a very emotional transition as we have 4 years of memories and relationships there, and set our eyes on being the church right here in our new community. What that is going to look like is still to be seen, but we are looking forward to experiencing everything along the way.
Go to O’Riely’s Tattoo shop on Mission St and find Dan Wysuph–he would be a good contact in terms of looking for people who are following Christ, but not connected in community.
Congrats! I’m a little jealous!
Sweet…in fact I am planning on getting some work done in January, so I may have found the man for the job. Don’t be jealous, just come through our open door anytime you want!!
I think you should get a tattoo of three guys in a canoe slaying sea lions!
