Welcome home

Well, here we go.  Drew, Arabella and I have moved from Ormond Beach, Florida to Albuquerque, New Mexico.  We never thought we would be leaving all of our family and everything we are so familiar and comfortable with and coming so far away... to a place called Albuquerque!  But, God is in control of all things, and he is working all things for good... and we trust in that.  So, he called us out here, 30 hours away from home, to minister full time to his church and his people.  And we came.

We've been here just over 3 weeks, but it seems like longer already.  It's so different from where we are from, but we already love it here.  The weather is beautiful, but dry.  And we come from a town that is at sea-level and now we are about 1 mile up!  So, the air is thin and that takes some getting used to.

We miss our family so much, we left all of you behind.  But, we are meeting a lot of new people, new families, God's family!  We have felt welcome and been taken care of.

I hope to keep up with this blog to keep you all back home posted on what is going on in our lives way out west.  So far, we aren't 100% unpacked, but that's because I don't have YOUR help!  We don't have a bed or dresser, and some other little things that we sold back home.  But, we are blessed to be in our condo and love the location we finally found.  I'll post some pics soon of our new home so keep watching for more updates!

Love you all.

By His grace,
Crissie
