Finally, a post!

Well, time does fly, doesn't it? A month has past since I have written anything and so much has happened. I've been to six different states, been a bridesmaid in a dear friends wedding and through all the business have felt the Lord's presence as He has blessed me so greatly.
I mentioned moving awhile back and have been back and forth on the subject quite a bit over the past six months or so. I've swung from being totally content to stay here in Cali for another year or so to feeling strong direction that I should move back east. The worst times of doubt were when I was fearing all the uncertainties of making such a large move but when I've taken the time to step back, God has clearly shown me that He is moving my heart three thousand miles from where it is now. There are many logistical things that have to be worked out over the next months, but Lord willing I'll be moving across the country, giving up the glorious weather of Southern California, and settling in the east where it is cold most days of the year :)
This past Sunday at church reminded me that even if I move and leave all the comforts of where I am now, heaven is where I belong and where I should long for. A missionary supported by my church here in CA was shot last Thursday. He, his wife and four children serve in El Salvador, an area plagued with violence. It was amazing to pray for them as a church and hear their testimony of how God had prepared them for such a shocking event. Peter is recovering now and is an example of how God's works all out for a greater plan. If you want you can go to Brian's blog on my sidebar and read about the DeSoto family.
I'll try to be better about updates! Thanks for being so patient!
