Its been a while since I last wrote, but in the mean time things have begun to settle in further. Nate and I have a driveness to keep moving, keep searching for more, but God is definitely calling us to settle down for this year... for real. We had signed a 6 month lease last January and now, to finish out the year, we have just extended our lease for another year. We do not yet know what our next steps will be. We do know this is good for us. I already feel a great deal more rested knowing we won't need to pack or search for a new place at least the next year. We have begun to let down our guards a little more, knowing we'll be in this community another year. Finally, we are not in the midst of transition.
Nate and I have been steadily figuring eachother out. There is a lot to learn. The biggest thing I am learning now is to be thankful. It is so easy for me to worry about details and then not trust that I will be taken care of. Life becomes far more beautiful when I just choose thankfulness.
I could really use your prayers for my relationship with God. I've had to walk through a lot of processing in regard to my time in A-stan. My heart needs a lot of healing and trust needs to be built up again. I guess truth is needed and softness of my heart to let the truth go deep.
I don't get to see many of you on a regular basis. I'd really like to hear what's going on in your lives. Shoot me an e-mail or give me a call. Thanks.
