Anchorage, Alaska ---- Our New Home!

We Made It!

We are so glad to be here in Anchorage safely! We had an unforgettable trip! It was 11 looong days of driving, but the scenery was absolutly spectacular! We saw so much.... we couldn't help but take pictures of everything!

Our trip started in Flagstaff-->Utah-->Idaho-->Oregon-->
Washington-->British Columbia-->Yukon-->Alaska!

God taught us so much about His love for us throughout this trip. Our love for Him, naturally, was renewed. Being in his creation made us realize how BIG He is. We were taken back so many times by how majestic and faithful He is.

We LeArNeD mAnY lEsSoNs:

First, I would say we learned how to trust Him first and foremost. With safety, and finances. He provided everything we needed. We believe with all of our heart that God held us in the palm of his hand the whole way up here.

Second, we also learned what God wants from us while we are here in Alaska. First off, to be a light for Him, but also to be ever so dependent on Him.

We are starting over! Financially that is. We sold everything to get here, and we are starting from the ground up, just like we did when were first married. This time, we are going to do things a Little different. We are going to work hard for what we want, and we are going to save! haha! What a new concept. We want to get rid of all of our debt, and live as good stewards of our money, actually God's money.

We also want to live everyday knowing that God is in control of everything that happens in our lives. We thought we understood this before. But relying on Him for everything this trip, made us realize that we don't do this in our everyday lives when everything is going well, money is coming in, and we are comfortable. We asked that God would always show us that we can do nothing for ourselves, but it is He who works through us!
