Starting 2013 off right!

It seems like 2012 went by in a flash! It was a year of blessing for our family. We began to get settled in our new community and looking back I can see how the Lord has worked in our hearts, growing a love for the people around us. New friendships, new opportunities to serve and more insight into His purpose for each one of us. Praying for the year ahead, that our hearts would be turned to Him and that we would grow more fully into the plans He has for us. Determined not to let the blessings of the past year make me concerned for the future. Sounds silly, I know! Sometimes I just feel unworthy. But, I am reminded of Jeremiah 29:11 and will walk confidently into 2013 expecting God's loving hand to guide and unending blessings to fill our hearts and lives.

We've been blessed to spend the last few days hanging out with my Mom, both at
her house and ours. So very thankful for the role she plays in our lives and fully committed to making relationship with her a priority even though the distance does not always make it easy. We love you Nan!!
