Seasons Change

Well the seasons are once again changing. As we experience a drop in temperatures and head back into winter time, others are starting to experience the warmth of summer. With the season of temperature change also comes the season of ministry change. We're heading into our last round of club nights with the Rock Solid students and preparing ourselves for wrapping up any loose ends in NZ, moving out, and getting back into life in the states. 
There is a lot going on in our neck of the woods, many decisions about our futures to me made, and new paths of life that lay ahead. In addition, we will soon find out the sex of our baby and begin packing our bags. All this will happen before we know it. 
Time seems to have flown by so fast. We feel like just yesterday it was Christmas time and we were celebrating the holidays. The pregnancy has also flown by - we're not 18 weeks along and feel our little one move and squirm. Where did time ever go?
We are certain that with the time we have had to serve here in Whangarei, we have made a huge difference. Thank you all for your love and support for us as we faithfully follow God's call on our lives to serve in New Zealand.

No real reason, but this song has been a huge favorite of mine (Preston) lately. It just talks about basically that you are not the only one who struggles and you have to continue to move along no matter what. No real deep lyrics but it just helps to keep me going. It is written by the All-American Rejects. You can hear it on YouTube if you feel like it...

"Move Along"

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
