My how time flies!

Wow, it has been 2 years already and in some ways it feels like all of it but in most it certainly doesn't. It was 2 years ago on August 15 of 2007 that Jane, Dan and I stepped off the plane in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic and started a new chapter in our lives. Little did we realize at the time how much our lives would be changed, stretched, strengthened in Christ and rearranged from what we previously knew it to be. I don't think we even realized the changes we would see happen within us and how God would be able to recycle a couple of late 40 year olds into workable tools for his service. Not that we thought we were useless to Him before but now we were placed in an element and culture that was truly foreign to us. But over the past 2 years we have seen our faith and dependence on God manifested moreso than I think it may have living in our previous comfort zone of Canada. We have seen the power of prayer working magnificantly, Godly provisions never ceasing and a realization that all things work to the good of those who fear the Lord. To borrow an old adage "We don't always know what the future holds, we certainly know who holds the future".
To celebrate this milestone in our lives, Jane and I took a little over night excursion to Samana and then over to one of our favourite places, Las Terrenas. Though we didn't take many pictures of our time there, the memories of relaxation, peace and quietness will certainly last a lifetime.

To God be the glory for all we've done and learned!!!
