My Grandma and Grandpa Hanson (Dad's parents) came to visit over Easter weekend. They live in Sioux Falls, SD but travel to Arizona during the cold season. They stopped by the Springs on their way back home. It was good to see them. We saw The Thorn together, which is a play/musical about the "Jesus story" at New Life Church. I've never seen anything so powerful and well put together... especially for a church! It was amazing!
I've gotten a couple more potential job opportunities in the last few days. One is in New Braunfels, TX, and the other is in Flagstaff, AZ. I talked to the pastor of the Texas church today and things went really well. I'll be talking with the AZ pastor next week. I still haven't heard back from the Sioux Falls one, but we're starting to question whether or not that would be a good fit anyways. I think the children's pastor position is full-time and the worship leader position is part-time, which is kind of opposite of what we're looking for. Although it would be cool to be a little closer to family again there, we were not really looking forward to cold winters again. It's really hard to predict where we'll end up at this point, but it's incouraging that we're at least getting some opportunities here and there. Summit Church, in Castle Rock, CO, (where I've been leading worship weekly since the beginning of the year) is also trying to find a way to keep us there by offering Sara a part-time position in charge of children's ministries. God already knows where He wants us, we're just going through the steps to figure out where.

Crazy to think of all the different places that you could end up! Wow!
Fun to read and catch up with the Fitzsimmons. Wow, how exciting for you guys, and yet a bit sacrey, as to where you will end up with a new job. God does put us where we are most needed. Sometimes those places aren't what we would want for ourselves, but trusting is the whole picture of letting God rule our lives. Will be praying for you, that the signs will be strong and bright for you to see where you are to go and do HIS great works. Hope you know that this is Sarah Y's mom writing to you. I check in on you every so often.:)
Thanks Marilyn, we will graciously accept your prayers for clarity of where we are being called. It is exciting, and honestly not that scary anymore. I've been given an incredible peace about it all that is definately beyond my understanding.
