we made it!

we arrived safely here in east texas friday night after 5 days of driving and over 2000 miles! :) i'll post pics of our roadtrip later this week when i have more time...

we've had orientation all weekend and tomorrow we start a full day of classes. the next four weeks will be pretty packed full! we are excited to finally be here and experience all that God has in store for us over the next several weeks! it is a smaller group this time with only 14 of us--one is from austria, one from norway, and a few from canada. the mix brings a range of life exprience and background and spiritual maturity--we are eager to learn from others. it is beautiful here and even green (east texas is green unlike the rest of the state :) ). it is not as hot as we remember it from last year in august. our room and classroom are air conditioned.

we have only been here a couple days, but we both continue to feel so at peace here, at peace with what we are pursuing, and this time in our lives. i can't articulate it other than that it feels so right. we don't know what lies ahead, but we know we are where the Lord wants us and trust that He will carry us through and provide. we serve a sovereign God!

we send our love from texas!
