Happy New Year..
a new year indeed
I felt a new season coming as the new year came
i feel it in my bones and in my heart
things are new, different
but nothing really is..
just inside of me (us)
the Lord has taken us into a new place
a different place - a place of joy and love

we were hanging onto to God's love and strength
his Hope got us through the last few months
nothing "major" happened
it was just trial after trial
thing after thing - nothing seemed to be going right
yet we were both committed in trusting God's way
we wanted His way and nothing else
.. we wanted to remain faithful and trust in His way
& our hope is that although we our meltdowns
and fights and issues.. in the end we surrendered..

so all that to say, its a new time
I have sundays off now from work
so we have been able to start searching for a church
and know that we can go regularly and try to get involved
we have made friends here.. and started building deep relationships with them
our marriage has been so fun
Trevor and I were just talking to tonight and he said the past 8 months have been a blast
it's true.. with our ups and downs -- trials and tribulations
we still remain upbeat and light hearted (goofy!)
and we fight.. but everyone fights right?
margaret call us the "beavers" (remember narnia?)
she even drew us a fantastic picture :)

life is good... it is full and rich
I am so thankful for my life
for trevor, my family, friends and most of all the Love God has given us
