Howdy, from North Texas! We're officially past the year and a half mark for being back in the good ole USA and approaching the one-year mark in our new home in Fort Worth. Alissa has actually passed her one-year anniversary as a nurse at Green Valley, and feels blessed to have a great job in this waning economy but also has experienced the stress of working in an often stressful environment.
As for me (Alan), I've had several ventures in 2009 and 2010 that didn't pan out, a part-time night-shift job that put enormous stress on the family, and in these last couple months a contract-based job as a tutor for high school students. Despite all the inconsistencies, we're surviving and thriving, all things considered. We must admit that, things look pretty grim for our beloved country, but as members of Christ's Body, we are upheld by the fellowship and communion of His People. Although we can make no guarantees as to what or how our government's decisions will affect our children, we confidently subject our future in the hands of the One who holds everyone's future.
Ministry and missions continue to be close to our heart, and opportunities abound to serve according to the gifts God has given us.
Many blessings!
