Family and Friends,
2011 has truly been a whirlwind for Katy and me. We’ve hopped from Tennessee to Texas, with some interesting stops along the way, and are so thrilled to now have a new city and church to call home.
While we were still in Memphis deciding whether or not to come back to the Dallas area our prayer was that God would lead us and go ahead of us like He did with the Israelites throughout the OT. It is amazing to see God move in situations like that and we are so grateful His cloud and fire rested over Allen, TX (I think our parents are a little excited to have us back closer as well).
My classes so far have been great! It has been my dream for several years to attend Dallas Theological Seminary and follow in the footsteps of great men such as Howard Hendricks, Chuck Swindoll, David Jeremiah, Tony Evans, and Tommy Nelson. These alumni and many others like them have had a huge impact on countless lives throughout their respective ministries. Hopefully I will be able, to a certain extent, keep to the trail they’ve already blazed. My prayer is that I do them, DTS, and my family and friends proud by taking all the knowledge and experiences I gain over these next several years and eternally impact lives for the kingdom.
I also just recently took the position of Student Ministry Director at Allen Bible Church. This has been great in several ways, one of which being I’ve gotten to work and minister alongside Katy. She really is so great with the girls and it’s so fun to see her in her element with them. But that’s not the only element she’s been in lately, as the business cards she flashes will inform you that she has recently become a Recruiter and Business Developer for Alliance International. This company helps men and women transitioning out of the military find jobs in corporate America. So far Katy has wowed her associates with a keen business savvy and killer charm. You never know, by this time next year she might even be running the company (snuck this stuff in without her noticing haha)…did I marry well or what!
Katy wears many hats to say the least but she also aspires to one day become the mother of several little Kimmey babes! Lately I’ve been (like RGIII) giving her the Heisman stiff arm though because we aren’t quite ready yet I don’t think ha. Right now we are striving to soak in this season of life we are in and trying to juggle everything with focus and balance.
We are so excited to be back in Texas and able to hopefully see more of you in 2012 as a result. Have a blessed Christmas and holiday season, we wish you and yours all the best!
With Love,
Brooks and Katy
