Just a quick update-we are all settled in and getting used to our new home. Noah loves his room and Lucy loves the big yard. I am learning my way around town (the two main streets…) and enjoying being at church on a consistent basis. I am definitely out of my comfort zone in this new place…I spend a lot of time talking with Jesus!
It’s funny how different "issues" rise up in you throughout the various phases of your life. For instance, during high school and college, I definitely struggled with feeling insecure in certain situations. Once I met David, started working, and became a mom, that feeling didn’t come about as often as it had in the past. Well, being in a new place has brought it all back to the surface. I thought I had already conquered this insecurity, right? Nope, it’s back, that’s for sure!
I must brag on my son for a minute. Noah absolutely amazes me! He is learning so rapidly, and it is so awesome to watch his little mind pick up on everything! For example, he can count to ten and he can sing the ABC song! This might be normal for a 19-month old, but I am going to bask in the moment anyways. God shows so much of Himself in Noah. It is so cool!

you are awesome! i think of you often. how could people not love you and admire you???

I know the feeling of being unsure in a new place. Each time we have moved, I feel like the world is moving too fast, but with time I get my bearings and feel better. I am thinking about you and praying for much peace and comfort in the coming months! Love you - Ab

Hey, Amanda! This is Gloria from church. I introduced myself outside of the ladies room at the Marriage Conference then my husband and I spoke to David about getting together. David said to leave our info on your blog (I’m blog-impaired so I just clicked the first comment link I saw..lol). Email me and I’ll give you cell phone number
Also, it’s so weird that you mentioned getting those old high school insecurity feelings back. That’s exactly how I felt at the Marriage Conference…not sure we fit into any group.
