One Year

"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go..." Genesis 28:15

This week marks our one-year anniversary of moving to Minnesota. The year has gone by so quickly, with so much newness and change. New jobs, new apartment, new church, new cat, new friends, new climate, and now a new house.... We have been so blessed in our first year here. We love our church and are forming deeper relationships with our friends there. We are growing into our jobs, and learning to thrive at work each day. God has provided for us in more ways than we could have imagined.

I remember all the pre-Minnesota talks, wondering where we would live and work, how we would make friends, would we be happy here? It's amazing how much energy we spent on worrying, and trying NOT to worry. Once again, hindsight shows that we never need to worry about anything, because God is always faithful.

Our new house has been taking up most of our time lately—painting, cleaning, repairing, etc. This weekend we will be doing some more painting, in the kitchen and entryway. It's so exciting to see how different the house already looks from when we first bought it! I hope to post some pictures of our progress very soon. Next weekend is the big move, and then we are excited to curl up in front of the fireplace at our new place, and NOT move for a while!
