I’m amazed sometimes at how God works things out.
Since we got married and Kat moved to Los Angeles, she’s had some serious health issues. These have been primarily caused by some allergens specific to southern California, combined with the astoundingly bad air quality in L.A. It seemed like life was constantly made up of sinusitis, bronchitis, and ear infections. We’ve spent many hours in our doctor’s office, all too often ending with him shaking his head. After 15 rounds of antibiotics and 4 rounds of steroids in less than a year, one can understand his frustration.
We’d reached a point where every medical means short of surgery had been exhausted. All we could do was keep going to the Lord with our prayers, and seek counsel with those who might be able offer some solution. That solution was reached recently: we’re being moved. Ironically, we’ll be moving back to south Florida, where Kat and I first met and fell in love. It’s ironic because we met, fell in love, and made all these plans to spend time together. Then I was asked to go out on tour with the Liberated Wailing Wall.
In some ways, going back to Fort Lauderdale is perfect … which really speaks of God’s hand in it all, doesn’t it? Kat and I have friends there, a congregation we can plug back into, and Kat has family living not too far away. We’re also basically a day’s drive from both sets of our parents, which is making Kat in particular REALLY happy. My supervisor in the south Florida branch of Jews for Jesus was the best man at my wedding, and I can’t think of too many people I’m more excited to be working with again.
The final date for our move will be just after the New Year. Sounds like a good way to start a new year to me: a new location where Kat can be healthy, new challenges of ministry, and a new season of our marriage.
