It's Kind of Fun

These old-fashioned blogs. Writing about the little details of life for grandparents, siblings and old friends. I kind of miss it. Writing and following friends, like letter writing. Maybe I'll start this up again. Seems like a fun outlet for all the journalling and writing I do. Who will read? Maybe nobody. Probably my mum, if I send her the link, right Mum? ;) I don't even really know how to format a post so that it doesn't end up in one giant paragraph... Here's where we are at. A snapshot. We are 9 months into our church plant in Duncan. These 9 months have been quite the journey! Nothing has gone as expected. I love, love, love our new church community. God has brought us some truly amazing people to journey with. People who's faith both humbles and encourages me. I knew church planting would be hard, but I didn't expect it to also be easy. Easy as in everyday we get to do work we love and share the good news of Jesus in a town that is so thirsty for living water. God has certainly caught our family as we made the leap together and jumped out to follow Him on this amazing adventure. Like our regional director, David Horita, told us as we were exploring the idea of church planting, "If you don't do it you will always wonder." I am so, so glad we made the leap, and so, so excited to see what will happen next as we continue to follow our Lord who loves us with an unfathomable love.

PS - Why is it all one paragraph?!!!! Tech people, save me!

Anyone Out There?

I rediscovered this old blog thing of ours, and it has made me smile to look back at young Wes and young Christy. Our lives look so different now! We've gone through struggles, heart aches, exciting adventures, and so many joys. We have been blessed beyond belief, and life has been so much harder than the 'kids' writing this blog would have expected, but so much deeper and fuller than we ever would have imagined. As our own kids are now entering adulthood I just am filled with so much gratitude to have been gifted with such amazing people to parent, and so gifted with such an amazing husband and co-parent. I look forward to the future, and mostly, I am so thankful to the Lord for leading us and guiding us, and always being there for us, no matter the trial, and he has blessed us richly.
