For about a year Andy and I have fought the idea of a blog... However, now that we have moved to Charlotte and there are so many people we want to keep in touch with, this seemed like a good idea. And like facebook, iphone, etc Andy and I eventually jump on the wagon. So I hope you enjoy hearing the every day rantings, thoughts, and updates of the Wyatt family!
The first update (for those who don't already know...) Andy and I have moved to Charlotte!! After about two happy years in Birmingham, Andy and I decided to move to Charlotte in order for him to finish seminary in Charlotte. Some people may think we are crazy (trust me I have thought it a few times myself) but we felt the Lord leading us here. We had a life we LOVED in Birmingham. We loved our first home, I LOVED my job, Andy had a great job, we had great friends, Birmingham has awesome shopping, it is the deep south, family was there, and even our puppies loved it. However, when the Lord calls, He calls. About 6 months ago Andy and I spent a lot of time in prayer and discussion of what the Lord wanted for us in the future. Andy truly feels the call to lead a church one day. This idea has been somewhat hard for me. I can definitely see Andy as a pastor, but I have a hard time seeing myself as a pastor's wife. I say just about EVERYTHING I am thinking! But I am so proud of Andy because he truly desires to preach the gospel as Paul did, that all he may know is, "Christ and Christ crucified." With that being said, we knew Andy needed a great education which lead us to Charlotte. So Andy and I said that if the Lord wants us to move to Charlotte, He will pave the way. And after one month of putting our house on the market, it sold and I had a job. We knew He called us here.
So we beg for prayers as we embark on these next 2 years here in Charlotte. That the Lord will continue to mold Andy and I into the man and woman He wants us to be for His ministry. We are excited for the plans he has for us. Our pastor in Birmingham, Harry Reeder, once said that know one goes into ministry with the skills they need. The point is that God gives them exactly what they need. So hopfully Andy and I will continue to become less as He becomes more.
So there is the first post of many (hopefully I will be somewhat consistent.) I hope you enjoy!!!
