Excerpts from Christmas Letter cont...

You may have noticed the opening of “Happy Next Year” instead of New Year. This year we have made a decision that will bring about some major changes in the next year. We are moving to Hesston, KS the day after Christmas. I will be a Student in the Hesston College Pastoral Ministries Program. Ever since we made the decision to go, it has felt like all our plans were aimed at next year. It has been a challenge to stay focused on the day-to-day, and the here-and-now. Well it is almost here, by the time you get this letter read, we could be on our way. We are planning to be in Hesston till June 2009, with a possible visit to Ohio for Christmas 2008. So, for many of you it will be “God be with you till we meet again.” Our plans after Hesston are completely unknown at this time. We are taking this journey of faith, with God, and we know He will lead us to the next place that He has prepared for us.
