I knew it had been awhile, but I did not realize that this is my first post of the new year.  Shame on me.  First of all, Happy Easter!  On Good Friday, Will and I went to Secret Church to listen to David Platt.  This year, the topic was heaven, hell and the end times and as usual, it was so encouraging in my walk with the Lord.  If you have never heard of secret church, David Platt is a very gifted teacher who can can teach a ton (literally flood you with information)and still make it easy enough to understand and retain all while keeping every topic Christ centered (which is why it is always such an encouragement to me instead of being overwhelming).  I think this year, because of the topic I was just reminded and filled with gratitude over Christ's finished work at the cross of salvation.  I highly recommend listening to any of the secret churches which can be found at http://www.radical.net/media/schurch/?cur_tab=series.

At this point, Will and I have mostly settled on a church we have been visiting for a few months now called New Branch.  While it is still new to us, I'm so thankful that we have been there long enough that we now know several names to put with faces and we are mostly past introducing ourselves to people.  It made celebrating our risen Savior that much sweeter that we were with people who not long ago were strangers, but are starting to become a church family to us.  We also had the pleasure of spending the day with Will's cousin, Jenna, who just moved to another part of Atlanta, which means that we now have family in Georgia!

As far as other updates, Will is still enjoying his job and his job is still treating us well.  Like I mentioned, we are mostly settled on New Branch and we have been visiting their small groups, trying to find a good fit for us.  I have finished all major projects in the living room (more on that later).  I have also started our own container garden despite my brown thumb so hopefully this summer, we might have some of our own produce (more on that later).  Now I am in the midst of job searching.  While it can be encouraging that Atlanta has a lot more jobs for graphic designers than Clemson did, its also a little discouraging that I haven't heard back from a single job that I've applied to.  I rest in the fact that God will place me where He wants me.

That's all for now!  If I need a break from job searching tomorrow I'll post about all of the living room projects that I've done!
