Our New Adventure


Hello again! Have you missed us?! I hope you have, because I have missed my blogging time. Since I last blogged, our gracious and unchanging God has turned our world upside down and I am so in awe of His fun loving passion for us.

On January 17, 2010 Edgar and I were elected to be Lead Pastors at Longview First Assembly in Longview, Texas. What an amazing opportunity! Our time here in Humble has been littered with learning experiences, friends, and growth. As I sit and type this my heart is so full of love and appreciation for the people of Humble First. They have laughed with us and cried with us for the past five years and we will never be the same because of thier influence on our lives. If I could say thank you with the depth of gratitiude that I feel for them this blog would never end. I'm glad I will spend eternity with them.

And so now, the new phase of life starts for the Ayala's. The past month has held the "divide and conquer" plan, and I have quickly come to appreciate my husband on a new level. We have signed a contract on our home here in Humble and are now going to be moving at warp speed to find one in Longview! Edgar and I are looking forward to what lies ahead. But not forgetting the past, because it has gotten us to the point we are at. Look out Longview! And as Humble has grown to know, with the Ayala's in town....There is never a dull moment, SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

Funny, I was just fixin' to sit down here at my computer and watch Edgar's last sermon here at 1st. But first I was going to check to see if any of the blogs I follow had been updated. Wow! To my surprise I see yours. It is all about the Ayala's at this very moment. Maybe I should pray! :)

My heart hurts knowing that I won't being seeing your smile or your fabulous plays that you write any longer. Well, I guess I will have to come to Longview to see what is a movin' and a shakin' at your new 1st.

God Bless you and yours,Stephanie!

From the old 1st,
Charmin
