Spring in Oz

Behold the Emerald City!!! Finally the gray of winter is passing and the green of Spring is emerging.  More than ever we are experiencing the new life that spring brings. (No, we are not pregnant) There is energy in the air that is unmistakable.  In the life of our church it seems as if each week new people are coming out of hibernation and bringing excitement into the house.  Our street team continues to make new relationships as the enticing air breaks the barriers of sealed doors and windows.  Most of all we feel God working in our lives growing us and pruning us to fulfill his plan in our life.  Oh, and I cannot forget to mention the emerging spider I witnessed crawling across our carpet.  It was all black and its body was the size of the top two sections of my pinky.  He died from blunt force trauma.  They ruled his death a homicide.  

We continue to love our home.  Right now, I am typing from under a clothes line strung across our apartment.  I washed 5 loads of laundry in 25 minutes today (there are some perks to using a laundromat), now they must air dry before mom and dad arrive.  Speaking of, we are so excited for mom and dad Windall to get here in about 30 hours.  It is always a new adventure when we have company and so much fun to hear their perspective of our new world. 

We trust that everybody at home is well.  We are so grateful that our friends and family have supported us on this amazing adventure.  Everyday we wake up with a new appreciation for this opportunity.  It is hard to believe we have been here for 8 months already.  We have learned and experienced so much it is as if 3 life times have been crammed into just a few short months.  So much is hard to share because words just cannot capture how God works.  Expect the unexplainable so that God may be glorified in your circumstances.
