A New Year!

Happy 2013!  It seems like everyone says this, but we really truly cannot believe a year has come and gone, and we've already started in on a new one.

Nearing the end of 2012 we spent some time thinking about what had happened over the past 12 months.  It was a great year and a hard year --- we were blessed with a load of wonderful things we didn't expect, but there were also plenty of times when we were ready to sit down and give up.  We laughed lots and we cried lots.  Opportunities came and went.  There were times when we wondered how everything could be turning out so beautifully, and days that we wanted to erase forever.

In all that, we think The Lord taught us lots in 2012, and we hope to use the experience to make 2013 even better.  We were struck many times with how completely we didn't deserve the many blessings we received.  We also were reminded that God expects of us complete faith and utter trust in His plans for us.

So, with mixed emotions we enter a new year.  Mostly with excitement.  We know God has great things for us this year, and we're jittery with anticipation.  Maybe we start with a twinge of sadness that another year has come and gone, but that also means a new year is here.... almost a fresh start. 

We pray that all of you had a most happy and beautiful Christmas and New Year!  Thank you so much for all of your love and support through the past years.  Here's to 2013!!

Lots of love,

Kristie, Apphia, Achaia, Abigail, and Abiah
