hey all!
sorry it has been so long since i wrote. we have had a fun couple weeks of family adventures and fun times with friends. today is going to be a fairly short blog sharing some precious little moments that we've shared recently. hopefully these reflections will encourage you to look at your life and appreciate those moments too!
*brad and i had the privilege of attending a retreat at joy bible camp, (where we indirectly met around ten years ago)! and spent some time with other believers and in the beautiful setting north of the city. during this time we were able to move at a slower pace (with a baby...?) and enjoy the beautiful snow instead of dreading shovelling it! being at joy provided great encouragement as we both had significant experiences in our walk with Christ when we attended as campers. we look forward to returning as a family this summer and opening a new chapter at joy!
*we have also really enjoyed watching our bean interact more and more with our family and friends. to see the joy it brings to herself and those around her is truly a blessing. it's crazy what you see people do to get a gummy smile or giggle. (dancing, singing, flailing arms around...it is so great!!)
*lastly, i have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know some moms and babes in the community and getting connected with many different groups of people. this has been a huge blessing as there is still likely a month or two of winter left and getting out of the house is vital for staying sane :) thank you to all who have made the last couple of weeks so fun for my bean and i!
i hope you all are doing well and enjoying this frosty time of year. God is so faithful and even when the wintery grey days seem to drag on, we can trust in the hope and joy that awaits us in HIM.
joyfully yours,
tyler
