Certainly the future will allow us the opportunity to see this period of our lives with greater clarity and understanding, but until then we walk forward with hope, faith, and resolve that all roads we are being asked to travel are for our experience and good.
Being unable to share some of our personal and professional challenges throughout the past several months with family and friends through our blog has been difficult but we appreciate the understanding and patience of those who realize that in most instances our disappointments cannot be broadcast.
Charles Dickens penned in the opening lines of Tales of Two Cities that, "It was the best of times and the worst of times." Such alliteration is also illustrative of our experience in New Mexico.
There have been (and continue to be) episodes in our experience here which can only be described as "the worst of times". But the price we've been asked to pay to grow ever closer as a family, realize the personal nature of our God, and rely more intimately on each other and the whisperings of personal revelation has been incredibly worth it. That our Heavenly Father has a plan for us we know.
Gratitude is ever extended to friends and family who support us even when we can't share all that we are experiencing. The next year will certainly bring incredible changes in our family, but we are incredibly optimistic and have a quiet assurance that all these things are for our experience and good.
Thanks for your prayers, faith and encouragement. We are so grateful for so much!
