What a journey it has been! And what a
journey it continues to be. We want to thank you for joining with us in
so many different ways. Thank you for your outpouring of love and care
for us over this past year, and thank you so much for praying us
through this.
Earlier today, Chuck accepted the role as Sr. High Director at Living Word Community Church in York, PA.( http://www.lwccyork.com/)
There
are some complicated factors that need to be worked out, so if you're
still interested in praying for us, we would love that! Mainly, we have
decided it would be best to deliver Baby Boy here in Scranton. He is
due in 5 weeks, so for at least the next month and a half Chuck will be
doing a commuting type situation. We have spent a load of time looking
for housing, but are still asking God for wisdom about this. In the
meantime, our stuff (including some items we need for Baby) remains in
VA. Chuck will most likely stay with someone in the church when he's
down in York, and we will just have to borrow some baby items until we
can get our own stuff back again.
We feel like we should be bouncing off the walls with excitement but
honestly, we are just overwhelmed and still trying to process all of
this. One of the guys from LWCC mentioned three of the most stressful
situations in life are having a baby, moving, or starting a new job. I
think we are feeling the effects of all three. Of course we are
thankful, though.
Thought we'd show this humorous picture. We took it in the "back
yard" of one of the rental places we looked at. We never would have
imagined ourselves anywhere near a corn field, but there you have it.
Thank you again for praying- all honor and thanks to God!

Abby and Chuck,
I cannot believe you guys landed at Living Word! You see, my extended family hails from York, Pa. My cousin, Dawn Sterner, works on staff at Living Word. Small world. And the church is literally a mile away from my grandparent's farm where my parents now live.
York will be a huge change of pace, but the people are wonderful and so down-to-earth.
Wow, I cannot believe you guys are at Living Word! We will have to see you the next time we are in York and visit Living Word.
Love you guys, Laurie Mooney Avila
