Well, we’re reaching the end of this season in our life. I guess if I were to name this season, it would be something like the “feeling God’s calling to a new place, job seeking, job finding, home remodeling, home selling, home buying, and moving” season. All the ballots have been cast, and as expected, the vote wasn’t even close. Our winner won by a landslide. This season’s MVP is… (drumroll…….)
Jen Kerr!!!
I’m sure you’re not surprised, but this award is well deserved. Throughout the entire process, Jen has been an incredible asset to our family, helping us to follow God along each step of the way. Highlights from Jen’s season include:
- Being willing to take on the big array of extra responsibilities during the Fall 2009 semester so I could take 12 credits and finish my Master’s degree while working full time and running a small side business
- Supporting and encouraging me as I explored several new job opportunities
- Faithfully caring for our girls and homeschooling them through all the busyness and uncertainty we were facing
- Reading all about selling a home and contributing tons of ideas and work to help have it fully ready to sell
- Packing most of the house by herself while I started my new job in Grand Rapids
- Walking with God, hearing from him, and being willing to let Him change her heart and give her a desire for a new home and community
The list could go on and on, but you get the general picture 🙂 By sharing her heart, mind, and efforts, Jen has blessed our family in amazing ways. I am blessed to have her for my wife and can’t wait to celebrate 10 years of marriage in a few short months. Love you Jen!
Aaron you brought tears to my eyes! Not only are you blessed with a wonderful wife and mother, Jen is also blessed with a wonderful husband and father! You both make up a loving and giving team.
Well put, Aaron. But you were in this together, all the way. And now it remains to be seen what the Lord will do in and through you both in your new home in GR.
