We would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The kids are excited that their last day of school is tomorrow and then off for a few weeks for Christmas! We are looking forward to my mom coming into town two days after Christmas to spend a few weeks with us.
It is so hard to believe that one year ago from now we were processing this whole idea of moving here to Wilmington. And here we are HERE! Time sure has flown by. To think we have now been here for 6 months is so surreal at times. This journey has been one FULL of ups and downs..moments of doubts, fear, insecurities,etc etc....I could go on and on....but one thing that has remained constant is our trust in the Lord that HE IS GOOD and that He HAS definitely called us here to do His will. We truly feel this is such an insurmountable task at times and we fall on our knees DAILY asking Him for His wisdom and guidance. We are just SO inadequate to plant this church.....
This Christmas we have SO much to be thankful for and we are truly blessed and humbled to be at this place in our lives. I am focusing on what is important and keeping my eyes on Him and praising Him for who He is in my life.
We hope each and every one of you have a truly blessed Christmas and a wonderfully blessed 2009! Our prayer is that we strive daily to keep Christ first in our lives and that we live each day growing closer to Him and fulfilling His calling on our lives.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Ashley for Chris, Ally, Caleb, and Anna Kate

Oh my... your message makes me miss you guys. I actually needed a reminder this morning of what this season is truly about. You gave it to me... thanks! We continue to be very busy with parents/ parent in-laws and getting Josh ready to move to S.C. :( At times life can be so overwhelming. Those are the times I realize I'm handling it on my own and not enough of my Lord's strength and wisdom. Merry Christmas to you guys... I love you all so much.
