Everything is changing. As I write, snow flurries are just beginning to fade into a clear, uncluttered space of sky and air outside of our living room window. Christmas was yesterday and it was a full day of warmth, laughter, feasting and enjoying family. I remembered being enormously pregnant a year prior and how we spent our Christmas day not knowing that Asher would arrive just four short days later. Things have been changing since that memory and continue to do so.
Matt and I are leaving staff and will officially be off of staff at the end of the month. It is still quite shocking for us. We've had so many tears with this decision. Some have been as we've remembered moments and entire adventures God led us through as staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. We have had opportunities, experiences, challenges that were more than we could have ever asked or imagined prior. We fell in love with so many different people and places and most importantly, with Jesus in ways that are so precious to us now. We are thankful.
