Faith, the beach, and a new home


Kurt and I are now in the beautiful city of Raleigh, NC. this summer a good opportunity presented itself, and we took it. We love it here so far. The weather is warm, the terrain is beautiful, and we already have a wonderful church family here. - We even survived our first 'tropical storm'. It is amazing out comfortable you get in one place, plant roots, and think that moving is a scary thing. Even though it seems I have moved my whole life, it is still difficult to decide to up and change everything. But, once on the other side of the move, it seems so right, so easy. It is amazing how God shows is love, protection, and faithfulness in times that we feel so uncertain. I know we had a lot of people praying for us, and I saw how powerful that is. Thank you God for your guidance and comfort.

We have done so much since we have been here. I highly recommend a vacation to North Carolina. We have explored the southern beaches, the Outer Banks and their lighthouses, been backpacking in the mountains, and visited the Biltmore estate. We are now looking for a house. I asked Kurt if I could have one like the Biltmore. He said he would think about it.
In the meantime we live in a great apartment, nice pool, and no maintenance! I'm in no hurry for a house. :)
