A New Life has Begun

This is the view from the back deck of our new home. Geoff and I have made the move to Hillsborough and have begun to settle in here. Geoff has started as the Senior Pastor of Hillsborough Baptist Church. 

We are no longer in a sea of boxes (more like a stream now). Pictures are starting to be put up on the walls and people have begun to notice that we are here.

It's strange that thing we call change. There are times when you know it's coming. You sit awake at night worrying about how it will all unfold, you meet people on the street who want to talk about the inevitable, you try and take in all your surroundings so you can take the memories with you. 

Now that we're here and the change has happened I can look back on the last 3 months and say "I had nothing to worry about" (Don't you love hindsight!) God was in control the whole time. He knew how it would all happen. He knew the pain we'd be going through and the joy we would be embraced by. He knew the work that it would take and the reward - well that will be waiting for us in heaven.

Through it all God was ahead of us saying "I got you, I love you, it's going to be OK, trust me"

Are you at a time in your life when you need to hear those words? Listen carefully. God has you, He loves you, it's going to be OK, because "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose". (Romans 8:28).

Hold on to Him - He's got you!
