Life after Lent

So since the last post, which I just re-read with tears in my eyes, I realized that God has truly brought us through that season of Lent. Joy comes at the end of Lent, and God has given us much joy as well. We have moved into our own house, which feels so much like home. We truly are blessed to have found a house that we love so much.

God has also provided us friends, those small fragile relationships that start as simple conversations have started to root and sprout into meaningful conversations and coffee dates outside of church. Friends from the 'past' have also been great, emailing and visiting, showing love over the distance.

Our son is settling in, making friends as well. He is looking forward to starting school and karate in the fall.

Life is good.

The sadness and longing of Lent. The love and blessing from the Risen Lord. The help and comfort from the Holy Spirit. And now we move into 'ordinary times'
