New Places...

So there have been lots of new places and new faces for us here in Fayetteville, North Carolina. We are really excited to be here and working to get all settled in as fast as we can, as we do not have much initial time here together. The Lord has blessed us so richly in the last few weeks it is hard to know where to start.

We have had an amazing time moving into our new house. For the last five years we have talked and dreamed of owning our first home and now it is has become a reality. It has been a blast getting into our new house that is very quickly becoming a cozy little home. There have been many projects and lots of boxes being unpacked at the Molina's over the last few weeks. But we have survived, grown wiser, stronger and closer together in the midst of home ownership bliss. With all of that being said, we are here, settled, and ready for friends and family to visit.

Another new place for us is our new home church. We are so excited that the Lord has led us to a great church here in Fayetteville. While overseas we often prayed that the Lord would prepare a church home for us stateside and of course he has been more than faithful. Village Baptist is a great church with a passion for Christ and meeting the spiritual growth needs of all generations and populations. Here we have found a great small group study that is full of other military couples. This is truly a blessing for us as there are other couples(especially wives) that are going through similiar life circumstances to encourage one another.

Well, it has been a summer of transition. We thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement along the way. The road of change has not ended as we find ourselves seperated again and facing new experiences and challenges in our new individual places while still unified together at heart. We will keep you posted as usual but we leave you with some pictures.
