Change and Snow

I was in the car with the boys today and we saw our first snow in five years that wasn't on a volcano. It snowed on the mountains north and south of Boise last night. Only a dusting, but enough to let us know winter is coming. The other day I found myself trying to explain to someone how it was being in Boise. I realized that I was going through a double change--moving back to the US after living in Ecuador for five years is a big change. What makes the change even greater is that we didn't move back to Oakhurst, or California, but to a state we'd never even been to before. Good thing we like it here!

This long period of waiting, of being in transition, is getting old for me. We've been back in the US for almost five months, and we're now very close to moving into a permanent home. This little apartment has been good to us, but it will be good to make a 'real' home here. The sale of the house in California is moving along, and I'm so thankful we have a buyer. It hardly seems possible that just three weeks ago I was getting very nervous that we wouldn't have an offer in time. Although I'm getting weary of the waiting time, lots of good things are happening.

The other large focus is our support raising, and we are now at 81% of our monthly amount. We have plateaued this past week, and we are praying to see more progress. Two more months, as we pray to be at 100% by the end of the year. I'm really looking forward to 2006 and getting to work on something other than support raising.
