Well,
Just to give the few faithful on this blog a quick update on life for us:
- I was laid off from work on February 28, 2006 (Bummer!)
- I was accepted into the M.Div program at Covenant Theological Seminary a couple of days before (Blessing!!)
- Maggie is now a permanent resident of the U.S., which means I'll get to be w/ my wife and Maya will be w/ her momma for at least another 10 years, as long as the INS office has anything to say about it (Blessing!!!)
- We were able to get an on-campus apartment to live in starting in the Fall '06 (Blessing!!!!)
That pretty much sums up the past 3-4 weeks for us as a family. I have been enjoying being home during the day and actually getting to be a fully active and engaged husband & father. So far, we have been working out all sorts of little details which can be frustrating at times (like where to live, how to pay for stuff, how to sell our two cars & get into one that will fit the family, etc...).
But overall, its been a pretty good month. I'm learning that when you have children, you can literally spend your whole day at the breakfast/lunch/dinner table.
So thats life for us right now, in a very broad stroke of it! Thanks for all those who care, who pray and who encourage - we have really needed and treasured it this past month!
Later,
Chris G.
