Forty Days of Gratitude: Day 13

Back on the wagon...

Been out of the blogging world for quite a bit now, but such a rest was worth it. The last month has been full of surprises and struggles both, blessings and disappointments. I've got to say that I'm incredibly thankful for the friends who we have here in Koloa. It's not everyday that you'd find a couple who have been married for only 7 months, are expecting a child in August, and who were transitioning into leadership of a church to take in another couple they believed God had called to their community and let them stay until God took them away- but we did with Matt and Jamie. Tonight is our last night in the Metzger home and partly that is relieving and yet partly that is sad. We've been blessed to get to know them over these last four weeks so much better than ever before and it is obvious that God has great plans for us all coming. Joy thrives in gratitude and I couldn't be more thankful for Matt and Jamie and the servant hearts God has called them to live with and enable.
