Last Sunday

Last Sunday was the 1-year anniversary of Rich's first sermon as pastor of Providence Reformed Church of Winnipeg, MB.

It was the 1-year anniversary of leaving what we knew to come to a place that God had put on our hearts.

It was the beginning of coming to know and love a whole new group of people. Coming to know their sorrows and their joys and to share in them as they allowed.

It was the beginning of a learning curve that we're still riding. But the ride has calmed down considerably.

Last Sunday marked a year from when we were new, still dealing with the raw lonliness of leaving so many that we loved, while also needing to go on and get to know the new people God had given us.

Last Sunday marked a very special occasion for us. It marked a year of growth. A year of seeing God working out His purposes. A year of knowing that God doesn't ever abandon His children - that He is always with us supplying for our every need. That He is the best friend ever, always faithful, always loving, always truthful, ever present.

So we go on, excited by what God has done in the year past, anticipating what He has in store in the year ahead.
