First we wanted to keep friends, family, and loved ones in the loop while we are up here. Ambridge is long way away from my hometown of Charleston SC.
Second, we wanted to be able to have our memories documented for the years to come. I'm ADD and forgetful, so this will help a ton.
Third, when I felt the call of the Lord and began discerning whether or not I was being called into ordained ministry I didn't have any clue what seminary life would be like. I had a couple amazing mentors who helped clue me in, but a blog like this could have been really helpful as well. Hopefully we can help inform others, and spouses of others, about some of what they can expect when they take a step out in faith and follow the Lord into this process. We hope to share all of our laughs, tears, and goofy kid photos with you. I'm sure we will miss some things, probably a couple important things, but we'll do our best not to. Not all of these blog posts will be written by myself either. Sara is sure to put her fair share of posts up as well. It is the Klauber Village after all. A village, by definition, requires more than one person to be involved.
Finally, none of this would be possible without the generosity of our family and friends who support us both prayerfully and financially. Thank you! As they say, "it takes a village." Continue to pray for us. If you feel called to support us, let me know. I can tell you how you can do so in a tax deductible manner.
Grace and peace,
Will, Sara, Elizabeth, and William Klauber
