new years post...a little bit late! we've had a pretty crazy but amazing few weeks! it was our first christmas as a family and we were blessed to spend christmas with the macdonalds AND the bram fam! we missed pat and joanna tons, but we're so lucky to have such freakishly close families. isn't family a strange word if you say it a few times? hunter was spoiled rotten over christmas and fell asleep with 4 stuffed animals between his arms, unwrapped his bone by himself, and even managed to take down an entire plate of brownies and candy! and my cousin's adorable 3 year old informed her 5 year old sister and libs, "it's okay, hunter is nice". right after christmas, we got to celebrate our first anniversary! then new years! the next day we got to take the jfbc middle school students up to sharptop for winter retreat and ricky and tim were "ronnie and donnie" from panama city, we had a great time and i got to know some pretty sweet middle school girls. we're pretty excited for 2009...2008 was CRAZY! but so good! in the midst of all the holiday craziness and the transition back to the routine, it's so refreshing to know that we get a fresh start with 2009. and that we have a loving God that gives us a fresh start any time.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" - 2 Cor. 5:17
we hope to live 2009 like brand new people, getting rid of the old, throwing out the selfishness and pride and becoming more and more like Jesus.
