It's Been A Long Time.

It's been a very long time since I used this blog. I started it with high hopes of using it to keep family and friends updated on all that is going on with the Harman family. Well...that went by the wayside very quickly. Life! Am I right? (he says slowly as he shakes his head and smiles) And now, so much has happened since the last post here that it would be such a long post no one (including me) would want to read it.

So...the dilemma! 

Let's start with now and see if some of the past details fall into place.

Right now we are living in Hendersonville, TN. Very long story on how we got here but...the boiled version of it is this. We were in a place without a community of people around us. We were without jobs. The landlord decided to sell the home we were living in. And we had to make a decision. Seeking direction from the Lord? Understatement! Finally, after much prayer, council, tears and talking God brought us to a question. If we could go anywhere and be in community with a church we know, where would it be? Melissa and I both had the same answer, The Bridge Fellowship.

TBF is a church that was started by my buddy Phil Wilson.  Phil and I were in ministry together for a few years in Spanish Fort Alabama. The premise of the church has always been, we are all messed up and need Jesus and community is where we will find people that will traverse this life of a Christ Follower with me.

The decision was made. What a relief! We knew what we were doing! If we only knew, the battle had just begun. That is another story for another time.

After a lengthy search for a home in a crazy housing market and a quickly approaching move-out date, we found a house. Finally got moved in. Started attending TBF and as of tonight we will be leading our second Life Group.

Melissa is working as a tutor at the Huntington Learning Center. Natalie has a possible interview at the Hendersonville Library and I am still looking and waiting.

We are taking each day one at a time. Doing our best to allow the Holy Spirit to quide us, empower us and help us find joy in each moment.

Thanks for tagging along with us!

We appreciate the many of you who still continue to pray for us. We need it daily.

Being Sick Is For The Birds!

Well at least it's not covid. I've been sick for going on 2 weeks. First, it was a severe sinus infection and now, it is constant drainage and cough. I know it's more than any of you wanted to know but it is a pain in the chest (lol) See what I did there.  Yeah,  that's probably one of the medicines talking. Today is a beautiful fall Saturday with low humidity, beautiful blue skies and cool breezes. Definitely looking forward to more cool days than we have had in the past. In fact, I will be digging out the electric blanket for Melissa today.  It's also Alabama football day. Not sure about what else will happen today but will be watching some football.

As many of you know, we will be moving in the next few weeks to lock arms in Ministry with Crossroads Baptist Church in Valdosta Georgia.  It is an exciting time for us but a heart breaking time as well.  God has given us the privilege of ministering with and to some incredibly dear people and it is extremely difficult to leave such wonderful friends and followers of Christ. If you are following this blog, then it is most likely that you are aware of some of the difficulties and hurts we have experienced in ministry.  In the midst of that hurt, God brought us to Highland.  We were reluctant, guarded, leery, and held onto our hearts very tightly.  However, God used many at Highland to bring healing and restoration to our hearts and souls.  And not just to Melissa and I, but to our children as well.  And for this we are eternally grateful.  We had not given up on people or ministry but we were very distracted by the wounds we had received.  H...
