Our new home

God is faithful and has been revealing himself to us in many ways lately. Through providing a home for us, the incredible amount of help we have been receiving lately, and a ministry opportunity. Praise God for his faithfulness!

We moved into our new home last weekend. It is a cute little 3 bedroom house with a huge backyard. I don't have to share walls with anyone and I can do laundry in my home! I must admit I was a bit nervous moving out of the "Multnomah bubble." We were there so long and it was comfortable and safe. Now in a sense we are in the real world. Real neighbors who most likely are not believers. It's a welcome change, though. Thus far, it has proven to be a quiet neighborhood. There is a lovely little park that is just one block away. We've yet to try it out because (1) it's been raining and (2) it's so nice having our own private, fenced back yard finally.

I mentioned that God has been revealing himself to us and the biggest avenue is through our church family. They helped us after Eli was born and then again when I got sick and couldn't do anything for 6 weeks. Which inconveniently overlapped with moving. However, God always provides, and several people came alongside us to help us with the move and also to help clean out our old unit.

In regards to the ministry opportunity, I won't say too much at this time. But I've always believed that the Lord sent me back to school for a reason, He was preparing me. Not only learning and gaining in knowledge, but also developing my character. After Selah was born I was going to wait until she started school to go back, but God had different plans. Well, a ministry opportunity was proposed to me a few months back that involves exactly what I want to do. Yes, I am scared, because I value children's ministry so much. I also realize it is not all on me. As I learned in my latest class, people are my most appreciable asset. I have the best team to work with! I am excited and ready to rock and roll!
