Back to the Old Grind

Well, school has started again for John. And with school has come the snow. We have had a very mild two weeks with temperatures in the 50's and 60's. It has just been beautiful. But of course, now that John has to drive 40 minutes up to Punxy in the early morning, it has started to snow again. :-) But, that's life here in PA I guess.

We have seen God move in so many ways since our move. He has provided for every need and blessed us beyond measure the past few months. It is almost hard to get back into a "normal" routine. We both feel as if we have really settled in and are beginning to enjoy life here instead of feeling like outsiders. We are really excited about what God is doing in our church and hope to be able to join a couples Bible study in February. We have really missed our Sunday School class in OK and the encouragement we received for our marriage and hope this Bible study will provide that encouragement again. And, we are still going to the YMCA on a regular basis and its half way through January!!! We really are enjoying it and are taking it slowly. This is for my benefit more than John's. :-)

John is set for a very busy and challenging semester. I think he came home a little overwhelmed yesterday, but I'm praying that he will just take things one day at a time and learn as much as he can this spring. It will make his summer semester so much better! We will have some pretty big decisions to make in preparation for next year. There are several options John could explore that could possibly be more beneficial than continuing on with Baking and Pastry Arts (too complicated to try to explain here), but for now, that is still our plan. Please pray that we will continue to seek the Lord about these decisions and recognize His will for us. We have nothing to fear because we know the One who is in control, so we just need to be willing to follow where He leads us.

We love and miss you all! Have a great week!

It is good to hear that things are going well.

I understand the thing with the snow. (well, kind of. this IS Oklahoma. hehe) But it has been so nice here and today it just got really cold and we have a high chance of snow (or ice hehe). It is probably for the better. The weather was so nice for a few days that it was making me want to break out the summer clothes and it is only January. :p

I will be praying that God will make His perfect will known clearly for you both.

Have a good week! :-)
