It's been a WHOLE year!
We have officially been living in Florida for a year now. I was just thinking about this earlier today. Last year at this time, the moving company had just left and we were up to our eyeballs in boxes. I was looking around at our house just a little while ago and remembering how much work we've done on it over the past year. We have painted every room, wall papered (and/or bordered) several rooms, remodeled the shower in the master bathroom...these are the biggest projects.
Looking past the physical changes that we have made to our house, there have been so many other changes that have taken place this past year as well. We moved here so that Steve could take a job as a jr high/high school teacher and football & softball coach at a small christian high school in the area. I was 7 months pregnant and Greyson wasn't quite 3 years old. Presently, Steve is working as a youth pastor at a completely different church, I have a beautiful 10 month old baby boy and Greyson is almost 4 and playing computer games all by himself!
We received some devestating news this past spring when we were told that my mom had lung cancer. For a short while, we were very scared that our days with her here on this earth were numbered. However, God, our Great Physican, heard our prayers and she is cancer free! As it turned out, the doctors' original diagnosis was wrong and she didn't have lung cancer. Some call it a lucky coincidence, but I know better. I know that my God answers prayer and that christians all over the country were praying for my mom. Her ultimate healing was a miracle of God and nothing less!
In some ways it seems that this year has flown by. It doesn't seem like Cael should be 10 months old already or that Greyson is old enough to be turning 4 next month. In other ways, when I think of all that has happened, it doesn't seem possible that only one year has passed.
God has really taught me so much this past year though all of these changes and experiences. I am truly blessed to be where I am now, living the life that God has intended for me to live at this time in my life.
