Bits & Pieces

I am just so exited about how God is working in our lives here in Texas.

I have been able to reflect over the past 6 months and really see God's hand.

No...It has not been easy but it has been so worth it! Growing is always a hard thing.

We had lived in Washington our whole life. We just had never thought we would leave that far away from home. As we prayed for the Lords will, we began to see him open up the doors. I never imagined how hard it would be to leave my family.

We have been here in Texas now for 6 months. Wayne is settled in his job. We have made some new friends. The church we are going to feels like home. I had planned on making a trip back home in November, but we are going to have to wait until March of next year when things settle here. It will be nice that all of us can go back together.

School is going well this year. Blake is in 3rd and Austen is in 10th grade. It seems like time is just going so fast. Austen will be 16 next month!

Well that is all ...short and sweet.

I do miss my family and I am so looking forward to our trip in March.

Peace...

Going forward when the going gets tough is not a test of how tough you are but how strong your faith is.
