Time Flies!

Fun at a friend's birthday party!


Eek! It's already been months since I last blogged! Christmas and the start of the new year really flew by. We had a lot of fun over the holidays visiting family and trekking to various Christmas parties and such. January has flown by with tremendous times of growth for us as a family, and personally with the Lord.

Greg led a fairly large team from church to NYSUM in the beginning of January, and God really moved in their lives as well as using them on the streets of NYC. The weather was beautiful while they were there. You can’t beat 70 degrees doing park ministry in January!
Greg and I were able to visit Louisiana for a youth pastor's conference that was an excellent time of impartation for us. Gabe stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa H. and had lots of fun playing with his cousin "Gorn." He's getting very big, definately not a little baby anymore. Today he did a craft with glue and crayons and ink. He's started to work on potty training - and doing fairly well. He's talking all the time about everything, and loving life. His disappointment so far is that it's not warm enough to ride his bike (and we haven't had enough snow to play in yet either).
We found out just before Christmas that our new baby is probably going to be a girl. We are very excited and praying for wisdom to raise this little girl into a mighty woman of faith. As for names, we haven't decided (and in case you are waiting with baited breath, we aren't going to tell anyone what we picked until she's born - so just breathe normally until then).
February looks to be another fun month for us. Greg and I both will be celebrating our birthdays and at the end of the month our church will be holding its very first missions conference! We are so excited and can’t wait to see God call more people to work in the harvest fields of the world! We also will get to see our missionaries, whom we love. I will get to meet some for the first time (since I came here just after they went back to serving overseas)!
Remember - life is fun! Joy is a choice (and it comes from letting the Holy Spirit be active in your life!)
