The past three months have been both extremely hard and extremely rewarding for our family. There has been both pain and pleasure, uncertainty and certainty, despair and confidence, hurt and healing. These are just some of the things we have gone through during this transition time in our lives. Despite the dramatic change and sometimes discouraging days God has been faithful to grow our faith and breathe fresh air into our spirits. For this we are so grateful. We realise we go deeper in debt to grace each day and consider it a joy!
At the request of several families we have begun a Bible Study in our home on Sunday mornings. We meet and have coffee and fellowship, then Jess teaches. Following that we all have lunch together and just enjoy one another. The fellowship has been so sweet and genuine and our goal is to "do life together". The first time we met we studied Acts 2:41-47 and looked at how the early church came about and how they lived and loved together. We all were encouraged to love God supremely and to love others sacrificially. We don't know where this will go and are just enjoying a week at a time of worshipping, studying, fellowshipping and growing together.
It has truly been a fresh new beginning for us. God deserves all the glory for the way He has provided for us, carried us, grown us and done all He has done in our lives.
