Ok, so I took some liberty with the title...but I think I will always remember the first of September as a significant day in my life. Two years ago, today, John and I officially made it to the Tri-Cities after three days of trekking half way across the country with our Dads and all our worldly possessions. It's significant, not only because it marked a fresh start in our lives, but it was also the biggest leap of faith we have ever taken together. We knew the Lord was calling us to Washington, so much so that we marked the date on the calendar and left the Mid-West without looking back. We were going on nothing more than faith that the the Lord would provide for us and did he ever! Two years later, we're still living with an amazing extended family (and intend to raise our children that way), John is constantly being challenged and growing in his job which allows me to stay at home with the craziest little girl I've ever met. And, blessing of all blessings, we have another amazing daughter on the way.
If you had painted this scene for me when we first arrived in Kennewick, I would've called you a liar.
So, basically, I am thankful...life is good...God is great. It's almost scary to think he could have anything better planned for us as a family.
