October...a Year Later, a Year Full of Gratitude

Well, it's been a year since I've posted on here, and so much has changed.  Ethan is now a year old, and we have learned so much over the course of that year.  I'm now back to work, learning how to balance life as a Mom and Minister.  We've had lots of adventures since coming to the Island and are taking life (hopefully) one day at a time.  Today, I've decided to embark on a month long gratitude challenge...that is, to prayerfully and intentionally take time each day to reflect upon something for which I am grateful.  

Today, I had my first meeting with the Elders of my Bedeque congregation.  I can honestly say that I enjoyed the meeting, talking about all that happens here and thinking through all that we have yet to learn together.  I am truly grateful for all of their gifts and both individual and collective wisdom.  I know that, as I discover much of the potential for ministry that is found here, these gifts will become more and more evident.  So tonight, I give thanks for the gift of wisdom and all of the possibility that it holds.

Wisdom to live, wisdom to love, wisdom to walk in the light with God.
