The first year!

We have had our one year celebration of being here as of March 25th! We've survived packing, moving, leaving friends, and our church family, to begin anew and unpack, make new friends, and start in a new church family. This year has had many ups and downs. It has been hard. I miss my friends so much but I wouldn't trade it for what I've learned from the Lord! He has taught me that He makes all things new! His mercies are new every morning. His family is so precious no matter where we go. He brings new things in our lives the challenge us and cause us to depend on Him no matter what. He has brought my marraige closer than ever before (I thought we were already inseperable). He has revealed to me a new love for ladies who truly struggle in their walk with the Lord, as I! I give Him glory for bringing us here and continuing to guide us along the way!

Notice that He also allowed me to be fairly short and my kids are soon to be way taller than I! No, I'm not shrinking, they are just growing. I must be feeding them right!
