Has It Already Been a Year?

Last year, on August 12th, Rachel and I boarded a plane in Bali, Indonesia, and began our long flight back to the United States. So much has been jam-packed into this last twelve months.

Time certainly flies, doesn't it?  Image found here.

Some of it has been difficult...

• a long and bitterly cold winter
• months of work that, although enjoyable, was unstable
• re-adjusting to new dynamics of life back in the States

Some of it has been a blessing...

• reconnecting with people who I rarely saw while living overseas
• seeing Rachel bond with a larger family than just me
• seeing her thrive at school
• being blessed finally with a full-time job

I have learned much about trusting God when I don't see clearly what lies ahead. I am still and always learning that no matter how much I think I know, I can do nothing apart from Him.

I look forward to the adventure of this next year. What will God have in store?

Blessings?

Challenges?

 Sorrow?

Whatever lies in store, I can be certain of this one rock-solid truth.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. 

Phillipians 4:13
