Hey Y'all!
Kristan and I decided to start a small blog to help keep in contact with everyone! The purpose of this blog will be not only for us to let y'all know how we are doing and how God is working in our lives, but for you to leave comments and tell us how you are doing, prayer needs, or just to say hey. We hope to update on a weekly basis (Kristan will anyways :))
Well we are on day 3 in Fort Worth, TX and quickly learned 250 miles of distance makes a tremendous difference in temperature. It is stinkin 42 degrees now, whereas Houston is 65 degrees! Who knew moving to the North in Texas made such a difference! Hopefully we get used to it since we are Texas Yankees now.
We have been slowly unpacking and have knocked out the majority of the boxes. AND WE HAVE FIT EVERYTHING!!! If anyone needs help condensing down when you move, we have plenty of experience. Going from 1250sq ft to 640sq ft is not fun.
The actual move went smooth. Thanks to everyone who helped us in the move!!! We greatly appreciate your help and could not have done it without you! Thank you for your love and serving heart through Christ. Special thanks to the insane people (JuanJose and Doug) for coming all the way to Fort Worth to help us unpack. You guys are awesome and we are so grateful for what you did!
Well I signed up for classes and Lord willing start work next week. I won't go into the details but God has opened sooooo many doors for us to be here. It is incredible to see the way God moved everything in His perfect timing. He is truly an awesome God who has directed us and provided for us everything we needed.
Kristan is excited because they have an excellent shopping area similar but bigger to 1960. We have already explored some of Fort Worth and compared to Houston is tiny! It is so small there are no loops (such as 610 or beltway 8). Emma is also adjusting well. It didn't take her long to learn the apartment. especially the kitchen. That girl must have hit a growing spurt because she eats all day long!
Well I will finish this thing up here with a thank you for praying for us. Again, God gets all the praise for everything. Thank you for supporting us in this move and we really really miss you guys very much. This Sunday was very difficult for us because we were desperate to be in worship with our amazing church family. Please continue to pray for us and our new journey the Lord has directed us to. Also, definitely let us know how we can pray for you. If you have no prayer needs, then let us know how you are doing!
In the Love of Christ,
Chris, Kristan, Emma, and Baby Hendrix
Dear Chris and Kristan:
ReplyDeleteI am so very proud of you; what you are doing, the direction your family and life are headed, and your dedication to the Lord and your calling! I love the blog, such a great idea; and it gives the feeling you are close in heart and only far in distance. What an exciting time in your lives. It just keeps getting better with the excitement of the arrival of baby Hendrix in June! Asking for prayer requests is a great way to begin your new path. Please pray Cody stays on new path. We are very proud of him! Be picked up his grades at Cy Lakes so that he passed everything for the semester! He can see the light at the end of the tunnel and knows he will pass all classes this year! He has not had any absences or tardiness! Prayers requested that he continue on this path. High school can be rough, but with prayers, we will see him walk across the stage to graduate! Love you guys, miss you too! Diane
