Focusing on Something Else...

With our car still in the shop and much work that is ahead of us to do, we are taking a step back and focusing on something else for a little while.  February 11 is just a little over a day away and that day holds a lot of significance to me and Al--it will mark one full year of marriage.  We know we have been blessed.

After our beautiful wedding and week long honeymoon, we figured out that it didn't take us long to forget what it felt like to be single.  We enjoyed working together, cooking together(we have created a wonderful meal of a mixture of cultures), taking long work road trips together, and simply living life together.  Our life, we noticed, isn't a very steady one.  We would get used to the routine of being home and working from here, then it would be time to share each other with the teams that we spent weeks with.  When we got used to how those weeks went, it was time to go to the states for a while.  When we got used to the routine in the states, back to trips we went.

The lack of a normal routine is evident, but we have enjoyed all the little adventures in and through each of our "normals" and we can't believe a year has already gone by since Almando jumped off the platform at our church here in Haiti with excitement as he saw me walking towards him.

We know that every year will bring challenges (like the car) and adventures and joys.  And we look forward to many more years serving the Lord together.

Please be praying for us as we enter into our second year of sharing life and serving the Lord together!

I used a passage in Ephesians 3 in my vows to Almando a year ago and in verse 20 and 21 it says, "Now to .Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.  Amen"

All for His Glory as He has already done far more abundantly than all than I could have asked for or thought of--All of this for His glory!
