Hello – it has been too long!

After our year long journey across the USA, we took our growth, what we learned, and settled back into Southern California for the 2014/2015 school year. The children all moved up a year in school and did great. They also jumped feet first back into sports – football, basketball, and baseball for Chuck Jr and basketball and softball for the girls, with FaithJean also trying volleyball for the first time. It was 9 months that brought us a football, basketball, and a softball championship, but MUCH busyness! Gia taught 4th grade at their school and I had the huge blessing to be able to support the middle school and children by coaching both basketball and softball and involving myself in a variety of other activities. We are blessed, beyond imagination. Our health is great and we thank God for each of these blessings. We also had the opportunity to reconnect with so many of our wonderful family and friends. We did miss connecting with some of you, as we were back in the so cal spin cycle with all of the above going on, but look forward to connecting with all those we missed once we return.

We also brought back some of our new habits that we picked up on the Jesus Journey. Such as routinely asking people we meet everyday in the store, running errands, restaurants, etc if we can pray for them. Handing out water bottles each Sunday in store parking lots – to let people know that Jesus loves them. Seeing need and hurt in the people in our communities and seeking out ways to fill it. These new habits have brought us to moments of deep personal connection with new people by the dozens the past few months and personal growth for each of us. Connections that prior to our Journey in our busy, busy, lives, we too often missed.

To be honest, we also became sucked back into the spin cycle again as well. Busy, busy, busy, still too busy at times for the life of relationships, worship, and service God has created us for. We are a work in progress, always.

We are now back on the road. Jesus Journey – Part 2. Two and a half months to places that we did not have the opportunity to visit and serve in our first 12 months on the road. To also learn and re-learn some of the perspective our time on the road taught us last year. Our path is flexible, but primarily it will take us through the middle of the USA – from Southern California out to Tennessee and Kentucky, then up North to Wisconsin, Minnesota, perhaps North Dakota, before heading back down to Southern California – all the time seeking God’s will and direction.

Please pray for us, let us know how YOU are doing, and how we can pray for YOU.

Love,

The Wandering Webers
