"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." (NLT)
In just a few months, Brian & I will be celebrating our 7 year wedding anniversary. In those 7 years of marriage & ministry, we have always said that we will ALWAYS follow the Lord WHEREVER He asks us to go! When He says GO, we will always be obedient to that calling and GO....
I know what a lot of you might already be thinking as you read this...
"Moving again?!? Are you kidding me??"
And to be honest, as of about a month ago, before the Lord confirmed this calling in my heart, did I say the same thing! But it is true...The Mills family is under yet another transition in our family & ministry. After MUCH prayer & consideration we have accepted a position at Long Hollow Baptist Church in Hendersonville, TN (a suburb of Nashville). You can read Brian's blog for more information about his new position and opportunities that lie ahead there... but I just wanted to write a little bit from my heart.
The Lord has taught me so much through our journey in ministry & one of the main lessons is that He is ALWAYS good & He has a plan that is the BEST for us, & He is FAITHFUL to work in our lives if we ALLOW Him the freedom to move.
We are extremely excited about the opportunity before us at Long Hollow but it definitely has been the hardest decision we've ever had to make. Second Baptist has been amazing! We absolutely love this church, our pastor, the staff here, 210 student ministry & the students here, and we absolutely have LOVED living in this great city of Katy! The West Campus has been such a fun place to serve & do ministry & we will never forget this place or the people here. Everywhere we have served at has left it's own precious impressions upon my heart....I have absolutely loved this "chapter" in our lives and we are certainly looking forward to this next one at Long Hollow.
School starts there in two weeks, so we will be making a quick move. We will be leaving August 13th with our last Sunday at Second Baptist being August 9th.
Please pray for our house to sell quickly to help with an easy transition to Hendersonville! If anyone is interested give our realtor Steve Reddell a call! (you can view the MLS page here)
Just a word of encouragement to anyone out there who is struggling with God's will for your life... always remember to simply, TRUST in Him!
Hope this verse brings encouragement to you today!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take."
Proverbs 3:5-6, (NLT)

We are so excited for you all and your newest adventure!
I'm so excited for you guys!! The Lord has always be so faithful to use you were he leads you and I know Hendersonville will be a better place with the Mills in it. ;) Can't wait to visit TN again!
Hi Jennifer, I've read your blog for over a year, but have never met you! My husband and I are members at Second (West). We are originally from Nashville. I told Brian about my husband's Godparents who were founding members at Long Hollow. Small world. At any rate, I know a great Christian Realtor who specializes in Hendersonville if you need one. Her name is Kathy Hannah. She's remarkable! http://steveandkathyhannah.com. Drop her a line if you need any help. They own a Century 21 office in Hville. Tons of listings come through there.
