This morning Scott reminded me that it was exactly 2 months ago today that we left Ohio to head to Portland. Wow. That really is hard to believe. In many ways it feels as though we've been here for quite some time. Admittedly, this has been a whirlwind few months, as well as those preceding July.
We've survived many challenges and our faith has been strengthened. We've been stretched beyond what we thought we could handle, and have also received blessings of major proportion. Blessings beyond what we could even ask or image. But that's just another glimpse into the character of God--just like the Father He is, giving to His children.
With plenty of new students on campus, we no longer feel like the "newbies." We are getting to know many students, as well as their spouses. It's pretty cool to know that some of the folks you meet are from places as far away as New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and Uganda.
Many more adventures await us....
