Exciting Updates!

 We have a few updates! Kittens and momma are doing very well at the home they have been adopted into.  The kittens are starting to open their eyes and Momma Cat is adapting well, loving the new-to-her space and the dogs in the home as well.  She rubs up against and purrs constantly when the dogs, or the humans, are around.  So pleased that they are safe and cared for <3

In other news, the girls had their Confirmation and Affirmation of Faith :)  It was a pleasure to hear them speak about what their faith means to them, how they view faith as is applies to daily living, and how the bits and pieces we have worked so hard to foster and instill into them has come to mean so much for them as they are growing into amazing young women.  

Each girl spoke well and read from their own words about living in a community with others, how they are moved by the hymns, and the ways the Bible has been applicable in how they view the world and the interactions they have in it.  I might have had a few tears in my eyes (maybe it was the pollen in the spring air?) from time to time during the service.

  It was a fantastic morning filled with such affirmations of how much effort we've out into our not-so-little crew and just how fantastic they all are.  It was the first Confirmation hosted for this particular congregation in 14 years; these special people made it super special for everyone there.

Now we are counting weeks and days until the packers come and box up our belongings and we start the next steps of our adventure!
