Oh, by the way...
See what the Hren's are up to these days. Check out our joint blog: The Hren's Nest. It's great!
In Transition
Hello dear readers! It's been a while, hasn't it?
As the title clearly states, I'm (also meaning we're) transitioning into a lot of new things lately. Of course, marriage in and of itself is a MAJOR transition, but we are enjoying the ride and so far have done a pretty good job adjusting to it. Woo hoo! As with any marriage, there are growing pains, but it is good for us and it is teaching us a lot in the way of patience, selflessness, and agape love.
Also going on is that Jen has taken a position at my school as an instructional assistant. Also a big woo hoo!! It was an answer to prayer, as her now part-time, soon-to-be gone position is ending in October. The perks keep adding up, such as being able to ride together to and from work each day, seeing each other in the hall every so often, and getting a MAJOR discount on health insurance. We know that it is God who has provided for us and is blessing us each day.
The third transition we are going through is that of considering a change of address. I know - I JUST changed addresses a couple months ago, but with both of us now in Goshen, it doesn't make sense to keep living in DTSB, no matter how much we love it. So far, we haven't found anything comparable to what we have now in the rent range we would like to pay. It is frustrating at times to not see any clear option, but we know that with patience God will provide again. The patience is really the hard part - we know He's got the perfect place for us.
With another significant milestone around the corner for me (can we say 3-0?? YIKES!), we know that no matter what turns and twists life takes for us, we can trust God to get us through it all. What a ride we're on!
Until next time, all!
