Shifting Our Family
by Thom & Cynthia Dusek

As a military family we have experienced a number of transitions through the years. We have also had the unique opportunity to help plant two churches which involved moving from very enjoyable and comfortable churches into the somewhat unknown. These transitions have each brought unique difficulties but have also presented us with some special opportunities.

Six years ago when the Air Force moved us to Tucson we were rather blindsided by the location. I had orders to move from Texas to Louisiana, but right at the last moment, my job transferred to Davis-Monthan. Cynthia had half-joked before the move that she would follow me anywhere except the desert southwest – don’t think that God doesn’t have a sense of humor! However after a few months in Tucson learning to get along without things like grass and rain and trees, we fell in love with the city, the mountains and the people.

We initially attended Pantano Christian Church and truly enjoyed the worship services and kids programs. Our kids were making friends, settling in and we all felt very comfortable. But God had other plans. Thanks to the encouragement of some great friends we took the leap to join Vail Christian. This move was hard on our older kids as they had to leave good friends behind. We spent a good deal of time praying about the move and decided that this was God’s will and that He would help the kids adjust. Over time and through the help of our terrific youth coaches the kids began to blossom in their new church home.

Despite the many challenges that these transitions brought our way, we have always tried to approach them together as a family and God has always been there to enhance the experience. Transitions always stretch us but without them we would have missed the experience of meeting some truly wonderful people.
