This is my friend, Brandi (left).  Years ago when I was in middle school and high school she was Brandi Wheeler, the bubbly, red headed cheerleader that you see here (top left).  Sorry, Brandi, I couldn’t resist.  Even way back then, I remember how she had this beautiful personality that just seemed to ooze out of her.  Fast forward a few years. . .after college at good ol’ Western Kentucky University we somehow found ourselves married to these two amazing men (Pete and Kevin - best friends).  And the craziest thing is that they both ended up becoming church planters.  How ironic, right?  Well, as the story goes, Pete and Brandi started a church in Morgantown, KY, and Kevin and I served alongside them for 2 terrific years.  Today, God has moved all of us on to our second church plants.  Brandi and Pete are in Nashville and Kevin and I in Superior, CO, just outside of Boulder.  Life now is done together via blogs, Facebook and Twitter.  So, some things definitely change, and yet other things always stay the same.

Brandi has a fantastic blog that again, oozes with her personality.  I have been meaning to tell you about it for quite some time.  After reading her entry today, I decided that I couldn’t wait any longer.  So, as the holidays have come to an end, I bet you are a bit like me - tired yet refreshed and ready to get back into the routine of life - busy, yet not ready to completely jump all in just yet.  Well, church planting wives, here is a story to bring some laughter and a bit of shock to your day.  Yes, Brandi’s story could probably be any one of ours. . .so glad it’s not mine!hehe It brings the red headed cheerleader image to a whole new level!  I LOVE how authentic Brandi is about her life and the life of her family.  And she always has a camera handy to capture the highlights. . .as you will see.  So, sit back and relax for just a few more minutes.  Check out Brandi’s post for the day.  Send her some love and maybe even console her a bit about her tragedy.  And then, if you are the blog reading type, keep going back to follow her journey.  Brandi and Pete are now over the hump of initial church planting as they are now a very cool and established church in the Nashville area, but this lady still has tons of experience to share.  She has “been there and done that.”  And isn’t that the type of lady we all want to experience?

Again, Happy New Year, Ladies!
