December 21 33rd Wedding Anniversary

Today is our 33rd wedding anniversary. We have been apart 3.5 months this year, 6 weeks at a time. Remembering when we were first married and did everything together, even grocery shopping, shared one car, and didn't want to be separated for as little as one night, its hard to believe I survived this year.

I remember when we went to Boise for a church plant, and I was homesick. I thought I would never go back home to live, that it was a forever move. Now Lloyd is the "home boy," although he has said he is willing to sell our house and move wherever I am called as permanent pastor, and he would have been happy to settle in Oregon or Washington. But I am not ready to give up our home here in New Hampshire, and right now there are no church openings here.

We are in agreement that we would like to do one-month mission trips, and I am in the process of writing a proposal for UNYP for these types of courses. Hopefully this year will keep us in the same place at the same time. Thank you for praying about where and how we should be ministering.
