A New Chapter in Our Life

In June, my husband accepted a new job as an Assistant City Engineer. As a result, we needed to relocate to a different city (closer to his new workplace…still within the same state). We put our house up for sale and it was sold in a month. We were so busy house-hunting and packing during June and July. We stored our belongings in 2 PODS and stayed at my mother-in-law’s house for 2 1/2 weeks until we closed on our new home. Last Thursday (July 31st) was the first day we moved into our new home. We finally get an opportunity to experience country-living. We have 1.76 acres of land and an incredible panoramic view here. We feel so blessed! The Lord beautifully worked out every step of the way for us to get this awesome home (it’s a long story

).

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot." Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
We all are very excited to see what God has in store for us in a new chapter of our life. We’re glad to be able to always count on Him who never changes. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...
