Blessings

Ya know, it is amazing how the Lord knows your every need before you do. I am amazed at the peace and quietness of heart He has given me. Even though everything had felt like it is falling down around me He is there as the strong tower for me to run too.

As of my last post I have now had to climb down into our lift station and unclog our sewer line. It is amazing what you find yourself doing when you are the only there to do it. My pastor came out to look at it and we found a busted pipe. On top of having to replace our behemoth of a furnace from the dark ages. The Lord had once again provided when the walls were closing in.

I was just on the phone this morning with a lady from Washington state and she asked how long we were going to be in Alaska. I said forever. There was no hesitation in that. People who live in the lower 48 just don't understand unless they visit and they are the type of person that can handle the long winters, the isolation, the quiet, and making yourself get out instead of becoming a hermit. I LOVE IT HERE AND NEVER WANT TO LEAVE! Our lives are so much more full and healthy than when we were in the lower 48. I think everyone should live at least one year in the Alaska bush to know what is really important to them. I am thankful knowing that my children will not grow up in the city where everything is rush rush from one place to the other. Everyone says you should stop and smell the roses, well come to Alaska and you will find out what that really means.
