Twenty years ago today...April 30, 1993...a young family purchased a home in Harrison County, Kentucky. They moved from a Church parsonage in another county to a brand new home with their four year old daughter, Rachel and sixteen month old son, Micah. Their lives were changing rapidly!
Now, twenty years later, the daughter has graduated from college and has been a nurse for almost two years. The son is completing his junior year of college, majoring in civil engineering. That young couple...now middle-aged...has faced more experiences in the past twenty years than they could have ever imagined . Their children are adults. Their parents have retired and require more care and prayer than ever before. Life is passing so very quickly. Tim and Terri have gained much wisdom, lost many loved ones, grown to cherish what is most important and release what is not.
More than anything, our little Lorenz family has learned to lean on God more and more and more. He has held us in the stormy times, blessed us in the sunny times, loved us all the time and will not let go of us at any time.
I never imagined that I would someday live in Kentucky with a precious husband, two wonderful children, friends who call us family and neighbors who call us friends. I never imagined the blessings God had in store when this became our home. We do not know what tomorrow holds. But as we have seen the past twenty years here, we definitely know Who held us yesterday, holds us today and will hold us tomorrow.
Thank You, God, for each precious life that crossed our path here for the past twenty years...and all the years we have been a family. Thank You for holding us in Your arms, for shining through so many precious people and for each opportunity You have given us so far. May we continue to trust You as You love us and lead us...Home. <3~thl
