2011, our best year yet!

Dear Friends and Family,
We hope you had a wonderful start of the new year!  2011...am I the only one who thought we'd be flying our cars in the sky by now?  Anyway, Andrew and I just returned from our visit to see my family in Arkansas.  We are now somewhat settled and excited to start this year off right.  As you know we have transitioned into the directorship role here in the Chester site of World Impact.  Was it smooth? I think that depends on the day, but overall, I'd say it went well by the grace of God.  We are excited about the new potential this year brings with some excited additions and changes in sight.  We are always so thankful for your prayers and support to our family and calling here in Chester.  

Christopher is now crawling like his life depends on it, taking a few steps forward with support, and just enjoying figuring out life as he knows it.  I've recently been enjoying watching him dance and sing duets with me (I know he's probably just screaming coincidently, but just let me think he's singing).  Andrew LOVES playing ball and playing with Christopher's toys.  We are enjoying him, and everyone was right...his first year is going by WAY too fast.  His first year birthday is coming up and the plans are underway.

This year we hope our family will experience joy, the expected and unexpected in our quiet times together, in serving in ministry or work, and a refreshing season in our times with our Lord.  We recently looked back at the many changes in our 2 year and 3 month marriage, it was overwhelming to list it out, but we are thankful for the Lord's provision and faithfulness in our marriage, ministry, and now as parents to Christopher. 

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.  Romans 12:12
