Our lives were changed forever exactly one year ago today. The recognition of that doesn't make me melancholy-it just causes me to pause for a few moments and reflect on the experiences and emotions of the last 365 days that are both enriching and testing.
- A spirit of peace & calmness that can only be attributed to the Holy Spirit
 - Asking God the question, "What's next Lord?" and listening more intently than ever
 - Seeing our faith in God refined & increased as we have no choice but to trust Him fully
 - Packing up a house that was our 1st as home buyers and wondering how God was going to handle that part of the equation
 - Being reminded of God's protective plan by three job offers within seven days
 - Leaving a hometown that I had lived in for 30 years of my life-my children for all of theirs
 - Being so warmly welcomed by new family & friends in Georgia
 - Recognizing within five days that God had definitely brought me here, in His timing, to be part of this team
 - Painful and yet necessary refining by God
 - Challenging conversations with a brother in Christ who understands where we have come from and pushes me to seek God's best for the future
 - Seeing and hearing of the impact that we have had in other people's lives-even from a distance
 - Recognizing that we are in better spiritual shape as we go through the process of healing
 - A sweeter and richer relationship with God for my family
 - Lessons that I trust will guide me down God's path for the next steps in my life
