For the first time in ages, I was on top of things and ahead of the game.  These Christmas cards were ordered and in my hands before Thanksgiving!  I didn’t start addressing them until just after Thanksgiving and less than a week later, our world was turned upside down.  So, the caption on the back of the card doesn’t quite feel right for how the year finished out, but just because the last month has been difficult doesn’t mean all of 2018 has been.

God is much bigger than that.  He’s shown us so much of Himself this past month and reminded us that He still loves us, is still in control and that He’s still working on each of our stories.

So, our hope is that you’re able to rest in Jesus as 2018 finishes out.  And that you can trust Him with ALL of your 2019 as it begins.

Merry Christmas, friends!

The caption is kind of hard to read so here’s what it says:

It’s been an adventure filled year! Isabella turned 1, Catherine turned 3 and both girls travelled to see their great grandmother!  Ben travelled to China and Hong Kong to see his friend, Joel and Sabrina travelled to France to help some friends with a photography workshop.  Then, we left the girls at home with grandparents to celebrate our 7th anniversary with a trip to New York City!  Merry Christmas and Happy 2019!

The photos on the front of the card are by Kim DeLoach Photography.  The top 4 photos on the back are by Ben and me, the bottom left one is from The Signature Atelier workshop (of myself with Matt and Abby Springman and Katherine Bignon).  The bottom right photo is by Ashley Therese Photography.
