Christmas and New Year Delights!


Merry Christmas wishes and blessings to you for this new, upcoming year!

Amazement and wonderment flood my heart at the knowledge that this time last year we were in Colorado not knowing where God would be leading us to go and yet, here we are again - in a new town and not knowing where we will be spending next Christmas!

Life is definitely a journey - filled with ups and downs and laughter and tears...

God says in Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all thy heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.

The word 'paths' that is used implies we are constantly moving and that we need to just trust that God has amazing plans for our future! *Jeremiah 29:11

As I reflect back on this past year, finding out we were moving across the country *again* - finalizing our daughter's adoption - our daughter receiving her US citizenship papers - the boys' starting 'big kid' school - loss of friends - sickness - surgeries - moving - making new friends, etc. I'm left to wonder what 2010 holds...

The comfort is knowing that we are safe in the arms of Jesus and He knows what this year will bring and good or bad, He promises to be with us through it all!

May God bless you and may your year be full of laughter, joy, love and friendship!
