New Beginnings

Happy Easter!

Today is a reminder to have hope and faith…“So we too might walk in the newness of life.” Romans 6:4

If that quote doesn’t hit home I don’t know what else does. It has been a month of “walking in the newness of life.” I have learned that Dollar General=country Target, to save cans for money and trash for “burn piles”, the Amish like to party late (still curious if they can get a DUI though), that errands take at least 20 min, that these communities are tight knit & rooted generations deep, and that you have to embrace the silence-something that I am not used to growing up in a family like mine.

There is really is something about the quiet here though that just settles into you, clears your mind and fills in the gaps like the fog in the fields. It softens life and fills you with a sense of peace.

Recently we have enjoyed Library story time with fellow Chiefs fans 🙌🏻, breakfast at the (Sportsman’s) Club, FaceTiming & writing letters to family as our means of communication, egg hunts, registering Mila for Kindergarten and cheering on Tyler as he inches forward (literally!-he is on the verge of full on crawling).
