I am feeling a bit nostalgic...

This is my last Sunday in Colorado for a while and I am feeling a bit Nostalgic. It’s hard to believe that we moved to this beautiful state just over 21 years ago.

It’s been a wild ride involving countless life changes and big events. From blizzards to wildfires, hiking and sporting events, vacation bible schools and bible studies, children starting school through college graduations, business ownership through retirement.

The past can be a lot to take in and reflect upon. Life hasn’t always been easy or simple but it has certainly been an adventure. God has blessed us beyond measure and I am forever grateful.

As I finger through old pictures and tape up the last of the boxes, I can appreciate our time in Colorado and be thankful that it has been such a large part of our journey so far. I value all the friendships made and experiences gained and plan on taking those with me. I feel changed for the better in countless ways.

I take comfort that no matter where I am, God is always with me and that my future is secure in his hands.
