I can't believe it's been about a month since I posted last. Moving is time consuming to say the least, but we are settling in here in Lewiston. Just a few pics to share with you which Ann took, actually. I still have mine to upload and don't have the time right now. :)
The top pic is a great view of Lewiston, ID and Clarkston, WA. Lewiston is on left side of the large river down the middle of the pic and Clarkston on the right. For those who care, that large river down the middle is the Snake River which I personally think is so very cool. I love Ansel Adams photos and he has this amazing photograph of the Snake River. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I found out we were going to live so close to it. ;) The smaller river in the pic is the Clearwater and it runs into the Snake which runs into the ocean. Obviously, our area was named after Lewis and Clark and will be great to explore (pun intended :P ) the history of our area in detail in the coming months.
The middle pic is taken from the top of the bluffs north of Lewiston (I believe...correct me if I'm wrong Ann) ;) Just about anywhere you drive in Lewiston these bluffs are in view; they are beautiful. Presently, they are snow-covered and spectacular.
The last pic is the front of the house we are renting. I am still trying to adjust to living in town, but Lewiston is not a city city (a great blessing) though it has a population of 30,000. It is spread out and thankfully, the view of the bluffs which can be seen from my kitchen window is a great help. As my friend Ang says, you just need to imagine the houses away. Apparently she is better at imagining than I am.
I truly am grateful to the Lord for the house he has provided and pray for contentment. Easy to say hard to apply. ;) Reminder to self: our possession is not of this world, but of the world to come. Our inheritance is filled with all matter of spiritual treasures; treasures that will not pass away.
Daniel 7:14- And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
What a blessing! Praise God! He is so amazingly gracious to choose his people for himself that we may serve and bless his name always.
I hope and pray you are all well and I look forward to posting soon.
Thanks for posting! I'm so glad to hear from you, and that you made it ok.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you! We miss you guys soooo much! Btw, Ethan's hair looks great though it really changes the way he looks. I was surprised. Are you guys still in shock? Greg's hair used to be longer and even though he had to keep his head turned sideways to keep the hair out of his eyes ;), I loved it and missed it when he went with a shorter cut. How are you all doing? I am sure the kids are keeping you busy, busy, busy. Gotta scoot. We love you all so very much!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! So glad to read your post. What a gorgeous area you guys live in! Hope you had a Merry Christmas. We had a wonderful time with my sis and her family. She is doing so much better these days. Email me sometime if you get a chance and fill me in on your happenings. Love to you, Amy
