New Home!

    I hear birds singing, crickets chirping, and Steven playing his trombone. What do all these things have in common? Life OUTSIDE the city! We have finally escaped (I do feel bad sometimes for putting the city down so much, but it really did feel a bit like bondage) the city.
    I am so thankful for the simple pleasure of living in nature-to be able to see animals, trees, and even bugs! I can finally have the garden I've always wanted. I think our landlords may think me a little silly, because as soon as we moved our stuff in I asked if I could make a garden and as soon as I got the OK I got right to digging!
    I have been waking up every morning to the sounds of nature, juicing myself a nice big glass of apple/plum juice, stepping outside to water my garden, and letting the day take it's course without ever knowing the time. When I'm hungry, it's time to eat and when I'm tired, it's time to sleep. It's been a wonderful week of relaxation before the summer hits.
    I mentioned earlier that Steven's trombone playing meant we weren't in the city, and this is simply because we never had a place to play instruments. We always had people living too close and getting annoyed by our music and instruments. I am so thankful that we finally have a place to play and sing as music was a big part of both our lives before marriage.
    It is truly amazing how God orchestrates our lives to bring us into the places He has for us. This house came up at just the right time and not only was it available to us, but they owners are also wonderful christian people who are happy to have us here and happy about the work we will be doing with Child Evangelism Fellowship®.
   In short, I am happy to be where I am, and extremely thankful to all those who have been praying for us throughout the move and as we transition into a new stage of life. Thank you everyone!
