a little update on life

In the last month since I've posted there have been many changes around us. It went from being freezing cold around here with a blustery winter wind to a nice spring breeze, with lots of warm sunshine. The trees went from completely bare, to small buds, to bursts of colorful petals everywhere. It's amazing at how the change of season lifts the spirits a bit, gives us a little more energy to get outside and enjoy God's creation. Walking through a tunnel of cherry blossoms and jogging (or skating, in Scott's case) have brought a smile to our faces.

This year is already flying by and we're 3/4 of the way through our contract. In exactly 4 months we'll be landing back on U.S. soil! Ahhhh. What's to come after that? Great question. We've got plans to pursue formal Bible training, but we're still waiting on the specifics. It's been quite a period of waiting, but we're so glad that God already knows and has big plans. Excited for Him to reveal those to us! We'll keep you updated on the specifics.

In these next 4 months there's so much to do, one day at a time. Relationships with co-workers, students, neighbors, and friends that we want to continue to dive into 100% and take full advantage of---some that know Jesus and some that we pray will come to know Him. Pray that we can continue to be completely intentional with the rest of our time here and that we finish strong!
