As I walked around town during our last few weeks in England, I was overcome by an immense sense of gratitude. I felt so thankful to the Lord for giving us this time in Oxford, for leading us to this place, for providing a way for us to go with the prayers and support of our family and friends.
Our God is a good God! He loves to give us the desires of our hearts (because He is probably the one who placed them there to begin with when we are earnestly seeking Him). I felt truly blest by this time in England. Not that it was the easiest year of my life. In many ways, it was one of the toughest. However, God showed Himself to be incredibly faithful to us during our time here. Because of that experience, I feel like my faith has grown immeasurably and in ways I didn't know were possible.
As we enter into transition AGAIN, I am thankful for this time, for this season, for these relationships, for these memories that have come from our year in Oxford. It's sad to leave it, but I am thankful for the memories and the lessons learned here. And I look forward to seeing what God has next for us!
