Thankful Thursday

Dear Diary, Today is Thankful Thursday again, hosted by Iris of Grace Alone. Feel free to pay her a visit.

When Colin and I left the UK we left behind a lot of good friends and family and came to a part of the world where we knew almost nobody (we knew 2 people). Everything was new, we didn't know where anything was and we were missing the familiarity that we took for granted.

1. I am thankful that God directed us to our new church where every Sunday the Word is preached purely and we are able to attend without any interference or opposition.

2. I am thankful for all the new developing friendships we have with our new church family. They have welcomed us into their fellowship with open arms and without hesitation.

3. I am thankful that last night I was able to attend the Titus II Women's Study Group cookie exchange. The cookies are all so yummy and we were able to enjoy learning about each others Christmas traditions and memories. It was a lovely evening of good laughs and conversation.

4. It may seem silly but I am thankful for our TomTom in the car. Without it who knows where we would've ended up! Although we don't use it as much as we did the first few weeks of living here, it is still being regularly used.
