Thoughts on family, life and ministry.

Tired & Blessed

Written by Jason Raitz on 8:26 AM

I really wanted to have a little more time this morning to write this post, but my time lately seems to be moving pretty quick. I spent a few hours this morning just working on bills. It's crazy, but bill companies still want their money...even when your house & your stuff is destroyed. Well, that's life.

The last couple of days have been a blur. It took us 2 days to clean out the house of all of our stuff. And, yesterday, we feverishly moved into to our new place. Even as we were moving in, the plumbers were still trying to fix the 12 leaks they found. 12!?! It was crazy. They were able to turn the water on and we are praying we don't find any more leaks. But, I am so thankful for that plumber!

It's weird moving. In 11 years of marriage, Tracie and I have lived in 9 different places. That's crazy. We have lived in apartments, parsonages (boy...that was sure fun...300 landlords...that's a story for another day), and houses. Every time we have moved it's new and different, but there is always one thing in common...our stuff. This move is different. We don't have our stuff. We have stuff...boy...you should see the stuff.

People have blessed us! It's really amazing. I will write more about that later. But, it's weird being a new place, with some new stuff and having no idea what we have and where to put it. Thankfully we have friends who are helping us organize and all that good stuff.

I can't even begin to imagine where we would be without friends & family & our community. To know people are praying for us all over the country...well, it's really humbling!

Thank you so much for praying for us!

Jason

Hi...I'm Jason. I love to talk about Youth Ministry, Teaching, the Church, my family and oh yeah...the greatest hitter of all time...Ted Williams. And even though I work for Willow Creek Church, everything here is my personal opinion and nothing more.
