What A Year!

It's New Year's day, and I've just finished reading through all the Christmas cards and year end letters that have been sent to us. We've been blessed by some amazing people this past year. We're blessed with a wonderful Christian family--parents, brothers, grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins--a unique Christian heritage that is a gift from God. We're blessed to have made some new friends in Idaho. We're blessed by a ministry partnership team who pray and give to make it possible for us to work full time with Mission Aviation Fellowship.

I can't say that I've really thought about a New Year's resolutions. I guess the one thing that I want to focus on is the ability and resolve to change things in my life that need to be worked on. When I was younger change came more easily. Now that I'm a bit older, I find that change doesn't come so easily.

So much as happened for our family in this past year. A trip to Sumatra for David, finishing a major wireless networking project in Shell, packing up our house in Ecuador, giving away our three pets, saying goodbye to so many good friends, moving back to the US, finding an apartment in a new state, finding a new church to attend, new schools for the boys, raising our ministry support, selling a house, buying a house, setting up a new home...what a year! Yes, it was very stressful at times, but through it all we knew God's presence and provision. We praise Him!
