Moving from home... to home...

It's now the middle of August. The ground is wet. The air, cool, and I smell some of the flowers in Elizabeth's garden just as the afternoon humidity sets in. About 2000 miles away from the place we used to call home, and two time zones ahead, we have finally made it to our new home in Lincoln, Nebraska.


We made the move about 19 days ago after sad goodbyes with family and friends. It was bittersweet getting together with all of our family and friends. We would not get to see everyone for a while. What would it be like when we see everyone again? Some would have (more) children, others would be married, and the kids we knew are growing up so fast... would they even remember us? It was sad to think that we wouldn't be there to see everyone all the time, but at the same time looked forward to future ministry opportunities with more people.



The Lord is our strength and we must trust in Him always. We continue to look forward to the direction God is leading us in...

Update: what's been going on for the last 4-5 months...

I just realized the other day that I haven't really sat down to post on my blog in a while, so I thought I would update you all...

In march we took a road trip up to WA with some close friends of ours so that we could make it to my husband's old roommate's wedding.


My husband was one of the groomsmen :)


In April my husbands parents and sister and nephew came to town for our family Easter gathering where all the relatives in the area get together and do an Easter egg hunt and BBQ.

One of the days they were here we got to go to the beach.

In May we moved out of our first apartment together and into my husband's grandma's place so that we could save up for our up and coming move to Nebraska.


In June my husband and I went to the Resolved conference...


but for me I had and impromptu visit to Canada to be with my grandpa who had a heart attack the day the conference started. He's doing better now and is able to get up and around on his own again, but is unfortunately not saved. Please pray for his salvation.

God's timing and provision was perfect! On the trip everything worked out... from affordable airfare, to a place to stay (my sister's), and time available.


The day after I got back from Calgary, my husband and I were off with the rest of our team to Spain on our missions trip. I'll post more about this in my next post, but it was an amazing trip!
