Both my house and heart were full this weekend. My husband was officially installed as an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America and it was a  day I'll never forget. I'll easily put it up there after our wedding day and the birth of our son. We had many family members in town to celebrate and give thanks to God with us for this occasion.  

Our hope and joy is found in Christ alone and we are humbled to Lord willingly be able to serve Him in this capacity for the rest of our lives. 

What an incredible journey. Our home church held a beautiful ordination service last night and I am just thankful. I can't say much more than that. God is good. My heart is full and To God Be the Glory! 

Thanks to our many friends and family members who have been a source of support and encouragement to us.
