Puzzles
I love working on puzzles. I think it is because I get all the pieces that I need in one box and when you put all the pieces together there is the picture. Whether 25 pieces or 1,000 pieces, you choose the rate at which you wish to finish the task. Oh, how I wish it was like that with our relationship to God. He never wraps anything in a neat little package; He decides where the pieces fit; He decides how quickly it comes together; but in the end the picture of our lives looks way better than a store bought, manufactured piece of cardboard. Our picture is a living journey filled with love and care from the Creator God. He is an awesome artist!
Change
It is going to be an interesting transition this next month. Margaret will be on her way to Bulgaria and my dad will be moving to Florence. It is actually happening. the common joke around the Sinsel home has been about dad moving to the town we live in. We lived in Florida for 12 years, and for 12 years we heard dad say he was going to move closer to us. After being in Florence for almost 5 years, the dream (ha, ha) has come true. It will be fun, I love my dad. We will golf, fish, drink coffee and do stuff that we have not had an opportunity to do. Plus, we need a good nanny!!
Janay update
Off with the cast. She had her cast taken off today, yeah!!!! she is a little sore, but she is a trooper.
Friends
Who would have thought that we would have friends from around the world. Hans & Rosalyn VanBaaren have been a wonderful addition to our family. They are missionaries with OM Ships. OM Ships brings Knowledge, Help & Hope to people around the world. Check them out and pray about supporting their ministry. We have met some other great people like Miles, Lawrence, John, Laura, Harold and their newest team member Ester. What is God calling you to do? Are you where He wants you to be? These guys are truely on an exciting Journey!
Communication
Everybody knows how important it is to comunicate clearly. The longer your married the more you realize how important it is to share your hearts with one another. I am learning that I need to communicate what God is doing, in my life, to my wife as much as I do with the people that I come in contact with outside the home. As we grow stronger and deeper in the Lord, we need to make sure that we are growing the same way with one another. Life lessons are always fun and hard at the same time. Don’t let the devil cheat you out of a good marriage.
Hello World!
The Sinsel’s have entered the blogging world. We will keep you updated on what’s going on in our world so you will know how to pray, laugh and cry with us. Please feel free to leave comments along the way. As I get better, the page will transform into a beautiful, visiual experience (until a picture of me pops up)!
Janay
Janay will get her cast off this week, Praise the Lord. It has been fun watching her use her left arm to compensate for the broken one. She has done incredibly well. She is a girl with no fear and an excitment to explore.
