Open House



We had our open house on Saturday and many friends came by to say good-bye. It was a really great day and we enjoyed getting to visit with people. After it was all over, I realized how sad it was that this would be the last time we would see many of our friends before we move. I've been trying not to be sad about this transition, but the truth is that it is very hard to leave.

California is the place that Mick and I forged a life for ourselves, separate from any influence, and really discovered who we are as individuals and as a couple. We've grown so much and been changed at the core. To pick up and leave this all behind is more daunting to me right now than it is exciting.

All that aside, we are confident that God has blessed our move to Texas and that He has much to do with us there. We had the pleasure of being prayed out by our church family yesterday and having that support behind us is very freeing.

The good thing is that you forged a joint identity without the influence of family! You now know who you each are & who you are as a couple & most importantly who you are in the Lord! You now have an inner strength that you may not have had unless you were away. God will be your best friend as you come to grips with living in a new place back with your family! Find a great new church with awesome worship and a good mid-week group.
I love the info about the baby needing an "attitude adjustment". Just keep praying that God will give you the child He wants you to have--but please not one who will need an "attitude adjustment" after they are born. You know from working with the kids that some are really mellow & some are a touch more strong willed! Lots of Love & Tons of Prayers!
