Greetings in 2007. Goodness how time flies and especially around the holidays. It seems like not that long ago when we "blogged" last yet I come to notice it has been over a month now. Part of the delay is that our PC is not working. We are waiting for the part to arrive that is supposed to fix it. We are keeping our fingers crossed for that.

I trust the new year has been kind to you to this point. Let's recap the past year.

First and foremost...We stepped out in faith and moved to Maryland in July. After years, literally, of me saying "I'll never move there"...here we are. We love it! The house is a little small but nice and meets our needs as a family of 4. The neighborhood, to this point, has been great. Very friendly people and some great kids for Grant to run around with. God was really looking out for us when He placed us where he did. Close to the church/school, not to far or to close from downtown and within walking distance of two parks. We are blessed.

The "body" here in MD has really taken us in. I (Andrew) sing for some services, assistant coach for the highschool basketball team (GO EAGLES), am enrolled in Bible College and whatever else pops up. Misty is faithfully involved in the womens ministry, hosting get togethers at our home, volunteering in the nursery and more while still being a full time mom of 2 or three if you include me ;-). Grant loves "his school"...sunday school...and his teacher Ms. Jessica. He is starting to create little friendships in the nursery and is blossoming into a great little guy. He has a pretty good little jump-shot I might add. Reese is an eating machine. I have no idea where he puts it all. He is growing up fast and is starting to be able to hang with Grant a little better these days. They are becoming little buddies. It's really neat to watch. I expect his first real word pretty soon now.

I'd like to extend a personal thank you to the church in York, PA for their continued prayer for my family and their investment, then and now, in our lives. Thanks Pst. Duke for your discipleship, teaching and dedication to me and my family. You, and your family, are amazing and we are greatful to God for your laid down lives. We would not be where we are today without you obeying God first and pouring out His life into us. We love you! Thank God for the church on the hill!!! We'll see you soon.

So, please continue to pray for us that God would lead and direct our every move. Pray for financial blessings, for our individual calls and for our call as a family, for the Church here in Maryland the people and the building (renovations), my next semester in classes (which would not be possible w/o some very special people...thanks...I LOVE YOU!!!), and whatever else God has for us. Thank you, THANK you , THANK YOU all for being with us on this juorney. See you in 2007!
With love in MD,
Andrew, Misty, Grant and Reese
