The Next Phase

Ross-Well, the second day at the college has come and gone. We are so in love with this place that it is hard to explain how much peace we feel in our lives. This place seems so surreal that we are still reality checking. The friendships and the life bonding are EXCELLENT. Our neighbors have a sign on their door that sum's it up, "multi-cultural, multi-language, multi-wonderful". I have to keep reminding myself that we are here for God and not for us. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and the things that don't matter in this life but the fullness of life that comes when you are following God and living HIS will for your life is like nothing that I have ever experienced. I was always so happy and in love with life, but I am at a place in my life that had never been experienced before. I think of the way that I have lived my life before and I get a kinda sick, regretful feeling and I wonder why I didn't follow God when he gave me the calling on my life a number of years before this. All I can say is that I am sorry to my King and I need to keep on rededicate my life to him and seeking his face. I have decided that we can never be as close to God as we need to be as long as we are on this earth and we need to make it our life calling to continually grow in him following his face. Like on of my friends said, "Are you content, I hope not" That is what I keep reminding myself when I look around at what God has blessed us with here. Our girls have also made new friends already and they are settling in well, and it is only the second day. God is Good.

Mandy-Well were to start, these last few weeks have been a whirl-wind not having our own home and the girls not being very comfortable not having there own things for security, but now that we are here it is better than I could have ever imagined. The girls have adapted so well. They have already met new friends and love there new room. The apartment is awesome, very comfortable. Can't wait to just be able to chill for a day with my family and do nothing. We went to the daycare today, God truly blessed us there. I don't now how we were so lucky to be able to find this daycare in a town that is this big let alone never living here before. The girls wanted to spend the night and not come home they liked it so much. I can't wait to go to church here again it was so alive and on fire when we went last time. I just want to give a huge shout out to my Lord and King Jesus. Thanks for my life and for always helping me through , even when there seems to be no way. Forgive me when I doubt and try to do things on my own. I know you got my back. Peace Out Mandy
