It's hard to believe another year has come and gone! 2007 was quite a year for the Eptings, one with a lot of changes, some significant heartaches, but also one of great joy and new beginnings. As we look back on 2007 it is so easy to see the hand of God... He held us as we grieved the loss of a job, separation from the church family we had grown to love so much, when friends seemed scarce, and we both felt at a loss for what to do next. He enabled us to take the trip of a lifetime - giving the two of us a chance to look past the heartache and smile through our tears. Even though that unique opportunity came on the heels of such an emotionally trying time for both of us, I will always treasure it. It gave us a chance to reconnect with one another and gave us the ability to move on. During the next few months, He opened doors to us we never would have imagined possible... enabling us to move to Texas, find new jobs (both of us in the same week!) and start over. As the year drew to a close, we got the most exciting news and the most wonderful blessing... we found out we are going to be parents in 2008! We are expecting our first-born around August 3rd! It's funny how life is... often it is the painful experiences that make us truly appreciate the blessings and new beginnings all the more when they come. We give God all the glory and honor and praise - both for the heartaches and the blessings! We look forward with hope for the new year.
I hope you all had a wonderful year in 2007 and wish you continued blessings in 2008!
