New Beginnings

“Tell us, Tomorrow”

Two wise men were walking down the road of Time, saw Tomorrow approaching dimly in the distance. They shouted, “Tell us, Tomorrow, what are you like? Shall we fear you or feast you?” And Tomorrow answered, in tones that sounded clearly through the mist “ Come to me neither with anxiety nor procrastination, but with faith and hope and with Today’s work well-done. You can not know ahead what I am like, but when you reach me, you shall see me through the eyes of what you are.”
Esther Baldwin York

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27 (NASB)

Happy New Year!!!

We are looking forward to all the wonderful possibilities the Lord has in store for us in 2008! It is not without its anxieties, as I face another surgery (which even with insurance – we aren’t quite sure how to pay for it) as well as countless medical bills from my previous surgeries when I didn’t have insurance at all.
But we are both blessed to be able to work and have good jobs (even if there are days we don’t want to go back there for anything) the Lord gives us strength to get through it. :-)
We have also been blessed to launch our own Arbonne business, and are anxious to see it grow this year. We hope to be able to get to a point where the Arbonne income will allow me to quit my job and stay at home when we start our family.

For now though, our family consists of two wonderful “puppies” that keep us occupied at home, and we are looking forward to some fun weekend excursions this spring and summer to take them on!
And we are looking forward to visiting family several times this year as well!

We have had a good start to our lives together and are looking forward to our first wedding anniversary in April. We are especially thankful that we found each other, and are looking forward to strengthening our relationship together and especially strengthening our relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Our prayer for you, our friends and family, this year is that you too will find a stronger relationship with those you love, and with Christ Jesus- our precious Lord. He has given us another day, another year to be thankful and to worship Him! What an Awesome year we are going to have!!!
