This will be my new home very soon

Here we go into 2008! What a great year it will be for our family. We will add Kate to our family and God will show us the new world of being parents. It is hard to believe that by this time next year we will have a little girl just a month away from her first birthday. What a difference a year makes.

2007 was a constant visible reminder of God's goodness. Our care group was formed at church. We added 2 newphews to our extended families in March. God blessed me with a new job in April. We found out we were pregnant in June. We challenged ourselves physically by doing various 5ks, 10ks, and sprint triathlons. God is so good and so faithful to us even through the trials that we faced this year. It has been amazing to be a part of other people's lives as God has blessed them also. An old song comes to mind. "Great is Thy Faithfulness" Jared and I had this song in our wedding. That one line always sticks out in my mind. "Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed your hand has provided. Great is thy faithfulness Lord unto me."

It is so exciting to think about all of the blessings God will bring us. It is also amazing to think about all of the trials that God will bring us through. Thank you to each and everyone of you who reads this blog. You have been a blessing in my life. I pray that God will show you and the people you love his goodness and mercies this year.
