A Whole New World

Aagh!!! The last post was in May? Really? Where has the time gone? Oh yeah...I remember. We have moved 4 times since then, been in intensive training, spent our final 3 weeks in the states with as many friends and family as possible, and moved to a brand new country...all the while trying to stay sane and somewhat normal for our children.

What an amazing year this has been. God has really taken me on a journey of trusting Him and watching His faithfulness. I am not saying it has been a walk in the park everyday...because it hasn't. My marriage has had it's up and many downs. My kids could probably say the same about my role as their mom. I have fed my kids more fast food then they should eat in a life time and that nice somewhat organized and clean house I enjoy has not been there as much as I would like. But God is faithful! And my kids are well, they are fed and clothed and have had many roofs over their heads. They have been to the beach in Florida as well Disney World. They went to Sea World and the Alamo in San Antonio.



In Virginia they spent a day apple picking and another in Historic Jamestown...the first American settlement.


And even a couple days in New York City.

They even managed to be asked to be in 2 weddings!




 They have made countless friends and have learned to say goodbye to each of them...often with tears.


 



But yet through it all they have been great! So now we are beginning a new journey that God has called us to. I will do better to keep you all informed. Thanks for the prayers and kind words! We love you all!!

Well, I can name a few of the "many downs" but I am wondering what was your 'up" for our marriage?
