Jeremy has had the honor to accept a position with a new company at hospital currently being built in Clear Lake, a part of Houston, as the Chief Administrator (aka CEO). He is very excited to have the opportunity to start up a brand new hospital and they are thrilled for him to arrive. Life never levels when you're a Barclay it seems. God is at work and He is always good.
For me, I think I will be leaving my heart in central Texas. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the Lord for our time here. He has literally changed my heart and soul through this place. I've come a long way in knowing and loving Him. I'll never stop thanking Him for the people I've come to know and love and walk through life and fight sin and chase after Jesus with. I've never had community like this before. And I now truly understand the meaning of John 13:35 when Jesus said, "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
I kept meaning to post about the Women's Development Program that I've had the privilege of being involved in at our church this fall. And maybe I'll still get around it. Suffice it to say, these few short months have been a challenge and a blessing. I am sad that I cannot complete it with my ladies, at least not fully.
Besides all the beloved friends and amazingly cool city that Jeremy and I hate to leave behind, there are the people, and places, that Noah will leave behind. This is a really tough part for me to swallow. I hate change for him. We will have to say "see you later" to our precious Mrs. Sam and her crew (who are more like family to Noah), all of his friends, another school, class, and teachers, his Kids class at church, and even our outstanding pediatrician who has been through a lot with us. I can't even get through typing this paragraph without tearing up. He will probably handle it better than me. :)
However, we are excited to see what God has in store and how this part of the plan for us will be bring him glory and our joy. We appreciate your prayers as we head out today to officially begin the journey with a house hunt. We are begging God to swiftly move and provide us with the perfect place to do his work.
Lots of love!
