Wow! What a few weeks we have had! It has been so busy around our household, I haven't had much time to sit much less take a time-out with you guys. Sorry about that! We had a great Christmas, my Mom & Dad decided to come up again this year. With the GD starting a new job the first of the year we didn't have the vacation time to make our usual Christmas trip to FL to see family & friends. We were so disappointed to not be able to make the trip but so thankful that my Mom & Dad could come up for a few days!
Then before we knew it, it was New Years & we headed to Birmingham for our first weekend at our new church! We had such a great time as a family & getting to know all the wonderful people we met at Shades. I just can't tell you how welcomed & encouraged we felt walking into this new church. After we joined the church/were introduced to the church, I can't tell you how many people stopped us & welcomed us. Yesterday was the GD's first day of work & the kids & I also spent part of the day there filling out paperwork. Again all of the staff was so welcoming & offering help in anyway they could to help us make the transition! We are just so excited to be apart Shades & to see what God is doing in this church!
For now the GD is still commuting, it's about an hour & 15 minutes drive when there is no traffic. We are hoping that won't have to last long! Please be in prayer for our house to sell! I am really struggling with wanting to be there & involved with Shades. It's hard to feel torn, like you have one foot here & one foot there. But that's how I am feeling right now. As much as I will really miss some of the great friends I have here, I am ready to go. I am ready to see what God has in store for our family. So pray for a quick sale & for my patience in the mean time!
