With Love from Montana

Hello from Montana! We left on Christmas morning for the long drive to my hometown of Kalispell, Montana. It’s shockingly cold here! Delaney is thrilled with the winter wonderland outside, and despite the 10 degree weather, she is outside as much as possible. Kennedy thinks that cocoa and movies is a much better way to vacation.

We had two beautiful Christmas Eve services on Friday night. They were our first ones ever as a church and I loved them! Tiffany Rugg and her friend Julia blessed us with flute music as people arrived. Then Tiffany and Scott Wisecarver and Sarah Sherland lead us in carols. It was all surrounded by candles and such a sweet reminder of Jesus’ birth. I love Jesus and I love being with the people of North Creek!

Now we are enjoying this week with my parents and then we will dive back in for an exciting year! I am working on some 2010 highlights and it is just amazing what North Creek accomplishes in a year. It gives me great anticipation as we cross the threshold into the next season!

I hope that your Christmas week was blessed with family, friends, and the love of Christ!
