update

Hi friends!


I just wanted to update you all on what is going on with the traveling Stantons. We're leaving Austin on Sunday and I may not be coming back. At this point there are no job opportunities for Zack in Austin, so we've had to begin looking elsewhere. We have been exploring some options in Nashville. Zack has been contacting people and has some connections out there. One of his brothers and his wife are also in Nashville and he knows some people in the music world, as well. Since Zack has not been able to land any sort of teaching job, he has been looking into orchestrating and arranging, which is a huge industry in Nashville. Zack is heading to Nashville next week to meet with some people and see if it might work for us. He's going to apply for non-music jobs, as well, just so we could have some steady income. There is a very strong possibility we will move to Nashville. We are excited at the possibility, but very over-whelmed at the long road still ahead of us. Moving there would be a start, but there is no job there right now. We would covet your prayers for direction and that God would open this door, if it's his will. If it doesn't look like Nashville is feasible at this point in time, we really have no idea what to do next.

It all feels very abrupt. I knew we might leave, but I was not really prepared that this might be our last week in Austin. You name the emotion, I'm probably feeling it right now:)  Trying to be thankful for this opportunity to trust God and His plan, but today has been a hard day.  Hope I can see a few of you before we head out!
