2008; Looking Back--Looking Forward

As the new year dawns we look forward all that it holds. Donna went back to school yesterday and the girls go back to school tomorrow to begin the last half of the school year. Jess is staying busy with ministry and all the demands it brings with it. As a family we look back over the past year with gratefulness for what God has done in our lives. He continues to bless us as parents with children that love God and others and honor us in such a godly way. It seems as the girls grow older we get closer and closer as a family and we cherish the time we get to spend together. God has also blessed us with friends that He has used used to enrich our lives in so many ways.

Not only are we looking back--we are looking forward to the opportunities this new year holds. We pray God will help us walk by faith and not by sight and that we will trust in Him with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding and that we will acknowledge Him in all our ways and allow Him to direct our paths. We don't know what all this new year will hold but we know who sovereignly holds the year as we live it out day by day.

BTW--we are grateful to our friends the Bradley's for allowing us access to their Spring Creek Ranch to take our annual Fall pictures (like the one here) and the ones our family will be getting soon.
