Time has and does not stand still

WOW! it's obvious that I haven't spent time jotting my thoughts on here as I thought I would...while I haven't been sharing my journey I've still been living my life and I think it's time to bring this space up to date.

Last time I wrote we had recently arrived here and everything was in a state of flux, now a half a year later, with a couple of months of winter weather left,(we seem to be adjusting to the cold just fine!), I can say with certainty that the decision to move out to the foot of the rocky mountains was one of the best decisions we (my wife and I) have made to date! and
God has been gracious and we feel blessed to be where we are. Our relationship with one another is deeper and fuller and more in line with each other.

Considering that we left "everything" ; friends, family, jobs and "stability" behind in the move from CA, we are rejoicing to have a great apartment with sweeping views of the mountains, my wife has a thriving private piano studio and I have been working at a job that has helped me get physically in the best shape I've been in in years!

All of the above blessings came together just at the right time within the same week, (the apartment became available to us, my job and my wife getting the leads for her students)! It was so miraculous! Thanks be to God!

I am also at a place in my life where I am realizing that I am refreshed and willing to start to share with and willing to serve others.

I have recently started to believe that the experiences of my life have prepared me to pursue a career as a public speaker. As someone who brings value to others surrounded by the pressures and challenges of cross cultural living and working, especially those in the midst of the cultural transition process.

So I think I've found my passion in life!
... now it's time to pursue it! Thanks for being on this journey with me!
