Out with the old.....in with the new

It's just a couple of hours until the clock clicks over into 2008, and I'm just thinking about the year that was 2007.

For us it meant a year of change; we left the church that we had been a part of for several years. Jo had been there 14 years, and myself 5 years, but both had been heavily involved in various aspects of ministry; we had both become unhappy there and felt God was moving us on.

I had also decided that a change in job was also on the cards and so I left Skippers Transport & went to my current employment with Network Couriers. This meant less hours, slightly less money, but more time with the family.

Of course the major event of 2007 was the birth of our daughter Chloe. Watching her through her first 8 months of life has been challenging, but very rewarding (full credit to Jo for all the hard work she's put in).

It has been a tough year financially for us with Jo giving up her paid employment to become a Mother, which is a full time in itself. God has been good to us though, even through the tough times He has always provided for us when we needed it.

So now we look to the year ahead, only 2 hours and nine minutes away. The only big plans we have are to continue in our parenting of Chloe, and a move to my home country of New Zealand in March; after that who knows what's going to happen. Follow God's direction I guess.

So what was 2007 like for you?? Was it as you expected or planned, and what plans do you have for 2008?

Another year over, a new one about to begin. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.
