Been a busy month with some big changes for our family. It has been nice to be back in the NW - the air is so fresh. That seems like a funny thing to say, but I think it every time I open a window or go out the door.We left our house in Akron with some sadness and the kids have been pretty open about their gratefulness for our home there, their familiar neighborhood and neighbors, our good routine and some special family friends. Most nights there are tears from somebody, remembering good times and special people and struggling a little with the unfamiliar.
We had a difficult time finding a rental here and the house we are in did not open up until two or three days before our moving truck arrived. It is near the hospital where David will work and close enough in town to ride our bikes to the store, the library, the park or the swimming pool. Across the street and through a vacant lot there is a beautiful creek and the kids have been swimming or fishing in it nearly every day. David is working hard at studying for his boards in the middle of August and the kids and I have been unpacking and exploring.
Every joy or trial falleth from above;
Traced upon our dial by the Son of Love.
We may trust him fully, all for us to do
They who trust Him wholly,
Find Him wholly true.
Staid upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blessed
Finding as He promised perfect peace and rest.
