The Final Week!

This is the final week in our small, but special home. The place that we have brought all our boys home to, the place where we have gone through many trials and many blessings, the place that we celebrated 4 anniversaries, 3 1st birthdays, and 3 1st Christmases. It is the place where Owen, Asher, and Knox learned to walk, where Owen learned to ride a bike, the place that we have made lasting and wonderful friendships, and the place that we have fondly called home. I am sad that we are leaving the place that the boys have only known as home, and yet there is an excitement in me that we are adventuring into the unknown. Where will we be in 1 year? Who will we be friends with? How will we be involved in our new church? Who will we bless? Who will bless us? What trials and blessings will we go through? How will we grow spiritually? What children will we bring into the world, and who will they be? It is exciting and yet scary thinking of the future and our new home. But one thing that is constant, has not changed and will not change is our Lord! What a comfort that no matter what city we are in, or how our lives wane and wax, God is unchanging! He is the one constant and unfailing rock in our lives! My friend Sarah was encouraging me that no matter where pur earthly home is, we can say that God is our dwelling place. So, no matter where we will be in the future, and how many special events occur in our new home, my dwelling place is in heaven with Christ! What a comfort!
