Life on the Horizon

So you thought I left... nope, just got distracted for a bit!
Wow, life has been a whirlwind! Life seems to be getting a bit more under control now that I am back in cyberworld. Since we moved (Sept. 1st) we have been without email- except at the school- but we are now connected! Life is so much easier with computers and internet, i definately take it for granted.
So, what has happened since I last wrote? Alot! First of all we love our house! Its a little ranch style home nestled into a semi-woodsy area. We feel like we live on a farm eventhough we are 3 seconds from a main road and a school. We love our commute to work, which takes me about 2 minutes in the car (yes i drive it's pathetic). Cory is going to Multnomah Bible College and loves his classes. He is taking 11 credits, one shy of a full load. We have found that we received government funding so that was an answer to prayer also!
Our soccer team just won thier first league game yesterday 1-0! woohoo! Lets hope this is a foretelling of how the rest will be! :)
Last, but not least our ministry here is starting to unfold. For me the first 2 weeks were very challenging. I am someone who needs to be busy and needs to feel needed. My job is exactly the opposite of that. In fact, they basically created a job for me so that I could serve here. The Lord keeps reminding me that in the beginning I didn't even know if i was going to be working at the school, let a lone being paid for my work. God is good. Now i have to continually allow the Lord to remind me that my first calling is to Love Him. Second is to love the girls at Horizon. As long as I am doing those 2 things, I am doing the work that I am called to do.
I am slowly gaining the respect of the girls and the Lord is opening doors for them to hang out at our house and for me to share with them my own experiences as a young Christian.
If at all possible please join Cory and I in prayer for our American teenagers. There are so many hurting kids out there- the Lord loves them and keeps reminding us that He has already paid the price for them. Grace is free! They need to know that God is powerful and that He is greater and more powerful than anything else in this life.
