A Fantastic Whirlwind and 3 years of Marriage

The Last few weeks have been such a whirl wind. In addition to 2 large and demanding groups, we got visits from friends, celebrated 3 years of marriage, went to Edinburgh, and so much more!

                                                      The Fullen's Come to Visit:

I am Astounded at God's grace and how He is so much Smarter than Us. I have known Shane Fullen since before Kindergarten but we were on opposite ends of the social spectrum. There was a lot of pain in our past, But God in so much bigger than our pain. Through a series of events, Shane came to be a believer and we sought reconciliation. At that point we kept tabs through Facebook and learned that Shane and His Wife Chelsea were going to be touring Europe While we were in Scotland. One thing led to another and there they were in our guest bedroom, staying with us for a few days. It was such a sweet time with old/new friends. We explored the highlands, sailed on the Loch Tay, and encouraged one another. 


                                                       3 Years down, Forever to Go!

It is so weird to think that 3 years ago Matthew and I got Married! In our years we have experienced all kinds of life, but we barely dreamed we would be living in Scotland. It was truly special to be able to share our lives with people from all over the world.

                                                       Anniversary In Edinburgh

Matthew and I were blessed with the opportunity to spend a few days in Glasgow and  Edinburgh recharging and celebrating being together. We went on our first train ride and navigated the rails of Scotland!In Glasgow we spend time with our "family" in Scotland, the Kelmans (the couple we met in the states). It felt like coming home for the holidays, except for the fish soup and liver part for dinner. In Edinburgh, we were able to visit several museums, eat lots of delicious food and just be together.  We were also gifted a rediculously awesome room in a hotel and were able to just rest.
 


 


  
 

                                                           Prayer Requests:
1. Continued Health and Rest as the days grow shorter and the nights colder.
2. Unity as a team at our Centre. Living in close community is messy, Pray for Grace towards our fellow brothers and Sisters in Christ as differences occur.
3. We would seek the Lord with all our hearts, and use this time in Scotland to grow Closer to Him.

It has been an Amazing Adventure so far and there will be more to come!

Love,
The Shedds
