Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean
not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he
will make your paths straight. Proverbs
3:5-6
I waited until Christmas break to write the letter. It is
difficult to celebrate any sort of personal accomplishment when so many
are suffering from the quake & tsunami in South Asia. This year
we have been more aware of how fortunate we are to have a roof, food, jobs,
and healthy family and friends. We thank God to have so many caring
people in our lives.
In 2004 we lived in a construction zone. Everything
was completed by this December. Short of ordering some furniture, God willing,
we will never remodel again. You can see the start to finish photos
on our construction web site linked above. Brian is still working
for Advent Software, as an IT Manager. Having a computer savvy person
in the house is awesome. It is like having 24 hour tech support. He
is a good sport about all the computer work he does for me and everyone
we know. I love to use technology but don't often know how to fix
it. Jennifer is still a camp director, school
psychologist, and university professor. Camp is still the most fun
but teaching adults in graduate school is also very rewarding. She
teaches in the Bay Area and Honolulu campuses. We
have continued to go to Orlando a few times
a year to visit our friends, the West Family. This year we went to
Disney World for the Christmas celebrations. 2005 will bring us back
to Chicago for Jennifer's sister's wedding. Veronica got engaged
at Thanksgiving and is planning a Fall wedding. Last May we went
back to Chicago for Veronica's graduation from Loyola University. She received
her Masters degree in education. Of greatest consequence has been the change
in our church home. We loved our old church, First Presbyterian Church
of Berkeley but since we were no longer involved in the youth ministry,
we decided it was time to find a church community closer to home. Willow
Spring Church of Moraga is now where we call home. It is a small
but growing church. Brian has been playing the drums with the worship
team and he also runs the soundboard. We miss all our First Pres
friends and know this is where God has called us.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give
thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
for you. 1
