The Kaya Family Prayer Requests Part 1: The Trip to Fort Collins/Loveland

Our summer can be defined in two words: packing and boxes.

So many of you have been so gracious in praying for me and my family during this season of transition and you continually grace us by asking how you can continually pray for us.  So the time has finally come the moving truck has left and it is time for us to go.

With that being said here is how you can be praying for us as a family as we drive out today to Colorado.

This is the first of several posts specifically regarding how you can pray for us.  I thank you advance for all your support.

  1. Safety in our travels as we will be making the 18-hour trek over two days arriving in Fort Collins on Friday.
  2. That movers would get there on Schedule (Friday) and all of our stuff would be intact.
  3. All the logistics and details of getting settled in would go smoothly -- getting utilities, cable and other amenities all set up.
  4. Rhett & Emersen would love their new school and make great friends right away -- they start Tuesday Aug. 21
  5. Our home in San Diego would sell quickly and at the optimum price.
  6. God's continual grace, peace and favor.
  7. That it would be a fun road trip.

What's In a Name ... "Journey" One of the joys I have had in being a part of Journey Community Church all these years is actually playing a vital role in naming it. In 1998 we, as a leadership team, through a series of events, were sensing a need to change our church name that would give us our own unique identity. Through a series of conversations and meetings some of the suggestions being tossed around were East County Community Church, East County Christian Church, Gateway Community Church amongst many others -- nothing was clicking or settling right. As a last minute ditch effort I suggested Discovery Community Church with the tag line, "where you discover your life's purpose." It didn't catch on with any one on the team. Then before we were to enter a meeting where we would decide the name of the church amongst one of the earlier sugguestions, I was having a conversation with work colleague about our future options. Nothing new was coming to the forefront. Then through the corner of my eye, I noticed the Journey Bible on my book shelf, I went and grabbed it and what caught my attention was the tag line "A Bible for Seeking God and Understanding LIfe." Then I rememberd stating outloud, "Journey a Church for Seeking God and Understanding Life." Though we didn't keep the tag line -- the name Journey really stuck with us hence the name we have today. Over the years we have recognized how Journey truly does embody who...

What I will miss ... It is fairly obvious that I will miss this place. This picture was taken yesterday driving away for the last time. In fact my son Rhett said it best when he said, "Leaving Journey is like leaving home -- we pretty have come here everyday since I was born." However, here are a couple of other daily go to spots that may not be as obvious that I will definitely miss. This Starbucks on Campo Road in the "77" is one where I received impecable customer service almost every day and sometimes more than once a day. I need to find "my" Starbucks in Fort Collins. I have no doubt that if a 24-Hour Fitness would not have been a 3-mile drive away, I would be Biggest Loser material. It was also great place to run into people from Journey and invite people to Journey. Thankfully, there is a 24 Hour Fitness within a couple of miles of our new home. For those of you have moved ... What places did you miss? Or if you were to leave what would you miss?
