Sydney is Comin' Soon


Well, it is hard to believe, but we will be moving in under two weeks! We are excited about the coming changes and very sober about the lifestyle shift that we will be experiencing. I am reminded of the words of Paul, the apostle, in Philippians chapter four, "...for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." We are leaving the safe and predictable to go to the place where God can use us in a whole new way! We know that he is faithful and also understand that it does not necessarily mean that we will live at a certain level or standard. God's call does not guarentee a middle-class life, yet, I know that He will give us exactly what we need to lead a healthy family. I pray that in this new 'place' in the Hutton's life that we go in faith and never in fear.

Who are you anyway...

So after coming out of the closet, it was suggested that we actually let people know who we are and what are deal is so here’s the deal.
My name is Levi lightwalker; I am a lone starfighter for hire. I like to spend my free time jumping star systems in my Star Runner 553 known as the Twilight Dancer, hunting Nelion butterflies on Javlin 2 and long walks on the beaches of New Saturn. I like chocolate cupcakes but not chocolate cake that’s just nasty...

But for serious my name is Matt Keith and the hot girl in the pic is my wife Terra. We have been married for almost a year and it’s crazy to think that we are about to dive into a church plant with Mike and Tammy but its great. So here’s a little about us. Terra is an awesome girl from Woodstock, NB. She has a huge passion for teens and hurting people. Terra loves to hang out with teens and has a passion to teach people about self worth and about their identity in Christ. She is the much more organized of the two of us and has a strange obsession with using envelopes to organize everything. I don’t personally understand it but since I don't naturally like to organize myself out of a paper bag I go with her system, hey it works what can I say? Terra thinks Sydney is going to be cold but she is excited to move there and begin to meet people.
As for me although it has always been my dream to jump star systems in a star runner 553 known as the Twilight Dancer the reality is that I am about two hundred years to early. So putting aside my dreams of space exploration and hunting Nelion butterflies on Javlin 2, I actually just finished up my BA religion degree at Bethany Bible College. I have a passion to reach the lost with the truth of the Gospel of Christ. I love to preach Christ to people and to share God's love. I also love to play video games. Right now my favorites are Invisible War for Xbox, Lego Star Wars for Xbox, FF10, and of course Halo 2 which really never leaves the favorite category I mean dude its Halo 2 seriously. But besides loving God and enjoying video games I am also excited to get to Sydney. I am really hyperactive about getting down there and finding a job. More importantly I am excited about community living, it means I have someone I can play video games with to all hours of the night how awesome is that.
So that is a little about us. We are both crazy and love to goof off all the time if not more then that and we are really excited about where God is taking us. Be praying for all of us as we make this transition into a new life its gonna have it's stressors but I think that it will more so have its blessings. Anywho that’s all I got

Peace
Matt
