We are now in our new house and almost completely unpacked. It's like Christmas opening all these boxes and getting to set up and organize the house! :) Especially the kitchen...I've had a blast cooking some new recipes off of pinterest! While I'm organizing and going through things at the house, Ben has started back at work. The first day he went back it was so strange to be at the house all day by myself, so I looked up some gym classes and other local activities. I decided I will not spend all day alone at home...that is no way to meet new people and not the way I want to live. BUT in a few weeks I will be starting up my job at the daycare, and life will get a lot busier as I know it. Thanks be to God who provided that open door!
Friends, if there is one thing I can ask you to pray for, it is for good friends here. That is probably the hard part about this whole journey. It's not easy being so far away from everyone that you love and care for. I know that God will provide; He always does.
Here are some pics of our journey so far:
Big trees!
The trees gradually got smaller and smaller...
This was the first big mountain we saw
This view was from one of the rest stops along the way..how unique looking!!!
On our way to see our house for the first time!!
Before we got our household goods, we resorted to picnic style! :)
One of many beautiful rainbows during the monsoon season here.
SO excited about our new washer and dryer!!
Our living room almost finished...minus the pictures on the walls.
Dining Area
My Kitchen!!! LOVE it!!
And of course...our music area :)
So many new things and new adventures- all of which are new blessings from Jesus Christ, who has made ALL things new. New isn't always easy, but if it's given by God, it is GOOD.
"So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know Him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone, a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to Himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to Him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!" For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ."
2 Corinthians 5:15-21
