New Beginnings. . . .

Here I sit, in our new home, in Georgetown, Delaware. It feels so strange. . .like I am living someone elses life. Matt and I have been married almost 13 years and this is our 9th place of residence. This should be old hat by now, but in reality it is the hardest move we have ever had to make. We left behind many incredible friendships that God allowed us to build during our 7 years of ministry in Minnesota. We are now beginning a new ministry and meeting new people and all of it seems so surreal. I know there are many dear friends praying for us during this transition and we are grateful for their faithful prayers! It is another reminder to me that this world is not my home. My heart aches right now, and although I know God will use this time to transform me into HIS image, the transition is still so difficult. So thankful that God gives us grace for each new day!

Our devotion at work today was on John 14 About Jesus telling his desciples He was going away, but that he would send the Holy Spirit to teach and comfort them to give them peace of mind. It said " you are entering a new season a different chapter, much will be different but one constant reamins Gods presence. Their world was about to be flipped on it's head and Jesus wanted them to know they would not face the future without His help...you have a travel companion:)
