weekend

this weekend was rather nice. i got my car back late friday, which made everything better. thursday they picked up my car and ended up installing the alternator like they'd said, but the towtruck broke down on the way to my house, so it wasn't ready until friday. whatever the curse was it seems to be broken.

friday night we had our last session at the building that has served as the dhop for the past 5 years (we are 5 too!). it was really good to have everyone together. we don't have our own building for now, but the dhop will be meeting thursday nights at the portland state university campus ministries building, where my church meets on saturday nights. it's in the same neighborhood we've been in, and pretty exciting that we're meeting on campus of the largest university in oregon.

we packed up the dhop on saturday (mostly). as i took the art off the walls and we decided what to pack i started to get excited about what we would see on the walls in the next place we settle. i know the same themes will emerge, but it will be amazing to see the new expressions of those themes.

we're all pretty stoked about this next season, but we have no idea what's in store. maybe i should worry, because whenever God moves His people to a new season we never anticipate the 'growing' it causes in our lives. if we did we would never move. it's always so much harder than we think it'll be, but always so much more amazing too. i wonder what we'll see when we look back over our shoulder a year from now.
