After spending a week in Wesley Chapel, FL with Josh and Jen, Ryan and I feel this is where we need to be. God is calling us to leave Southern California and move to Florida and be the church for this community. We drove around the area, talked with locals and got a feel for what we think this town is missing. Most people who move to Wesley Chapel come to get away from the city (Tampa). They are starting their families and just want to own a home, have safe parks and good schools for their kids. They aren't necessarily looking for God, but they didn't close the door fast when I mentioned why we were thinking of moving to FL. Who knows... maybe our paths will cross again! So although leaving our parents, jobs (with amazing health insurance) and our newly bought home are VERY scary things, moving somewhere safe, growing and in need of a new church is very comforting. Especially when we feel that God is calling us...
