Reflections!

As many people did yesterday, we went and watched fireworks! Brandon and Katie kept trying to convince us all day that "the sunset was coming." Of course when we finally went to watch fireworks and by the time they started at 9:30pm, Brandon & Katie were ready to go to sleep. But as we sat there, Jessica and I talked about the fact that this was the fourth time we had sat in the same parking lot to watch the fire works in Waycross. We found it hard to believe that it had been a full three years since we've moved here. Which causes me to stop and reflect on our ministry here in Waycross. This has been a good three years to us. Much more than we expected and at the same time what we had prepared for. The Lord has blessed our family. Brandon & Katie have made good friends, which we take as a good sign for future appointments. Jessica and I have made good friends. Our Corps has seen growth and we have seen growth. We are extremely happy that Brandon & Katie have learned some much about God here and have had a crucial role in our ministry. They have learned how to tell others about God and they have learned to invite others to church. They have learned many things about life here and for that Waycross will always have a special place in our hearts. So, do we know if we will get to see the fireworks for a fifth time here in Waycross, we don't know what God has in store for us. But, we are happy to be serving Him here in Waycross and are thankful for the challenges and joys He puts in our paths to help us to grow along the way. Thanks to all our family, friends and soldiers here and abroad who have prayed for us and loved us during these times. Here's to a good year!
