The FootHills

Well, I have been in Albuquerque for a few days now and it has been good thusfar. I am enjoying catching up with Nathan though things are naturally strained between separated friends. We went hiking at the foot hills yesterday (which is the cause of great soreness today) and swimming and things like that. I am much enjoying the Lord and He is sustaining me a great deal. May I always be helpless before Him and rely only on the strength of His arm.

I can not believe that a year ago tomorrow Jed and I left all for Minnesota, desparate for reality and with no idea of what lay ahead- with nothing but a promise from God (and a tube of chapstick : ) How much has happened since then! How much our ways and understanding have changed! I personally feel that this has been one of the hardest years of my life - many failures and much faltering - and still I know that my fellowship with the Lord is much deeper and sweeter than it has ever been. Thank You Lord that You scourge those that you receive! May we be broken of every self-confidence in order to trust wholly in You. You are good to us.
