May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. – Romans 15:13

January 1st 2025 got the year off to a beautiful and picturesque beginning as Rebekah and I woke up still in Krakow, Poland.

Before long, however, we were back in our new hometown of Tarboro, where we have enjoyed walks by the Tar, beautiful sunrises, vibrant life at our church, unexpected snow, encouraging progress on our home and the company of great friends.

Thirty-one days, thirty-one photographs.

Enjoy the review. And then, let’s all make the commitment to keep not only our eyes open throughout February but our hearts too.

Peace, love and blessings – DEREK
