Today we celebrated 9 years of being married! Someone was commenting on us having 4 kids in just nine years. I didn't think that was very unusual. We actually had 4 kids when we were married 6 years...our baby is almost 3 now! But, we have much to be thankful for. Since I didn't get married until I was 'older', I used to wonder if I ever would, and especially didn't expect that God would bless us with four wonderful children.
Another thing we are reminded of today, is that one year ago, we bawled our eyes out and were on our first of many airplanes that would take us on our journey literally across the world to Papua New Guinea! This year has gone amazingly fast and God has been SOOOO gracious to us in so many ways. He has sustained us, contented us, encouraged us, humbled us, sobered us and showed His love and faithfulness to us over and over. We are very grateful and although we think often of loved ones and things back home that we love and miss, we are thankful to be where God has us and trusting Him to continue to guide our steps along the way. So thankful for those back home who love us, encourage us and take care of us! MUCH to be thankful for!
