new address

For those using bloglines:
Hey Guys, we had a little mix up with blogger yesterday due to an upgrade by google. As a result my old blog is now directly connected with matt's and i have to use his account in order to post.
However, matt created my own google account and re-created my blog, and forwarded my old web address bound4boston.blogspot.com to a new one: boundforboston.blogspot.com. For the time being you will be automatically forwarded to this new address, but for the future please direct yourselves to boundforboston.blogspot.com.

Thank you so much, and sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you all are doing well!

Allie and Matt

all-nighter!

first off, i would like to say how proud i am of matt for pulling an all-nighter last night. i, myself have never been able to stay awake all night studying, but i applaud you for your dedication!

secondly, i pray the day comes quickly when you will never have to do all-nighters to study again!

p.s. i hope our little study date from 4-6am proved beneficial. i'm tired!

love you!

faith in the little things

i've noticed lately that somewhat catastrophic events will happen in our life and i feel sometimes that we'll NEVER get through it. usually it's small little things like trying to make $20 of groceries stretch for 10 days for 2 people for 2-3 meals a day and sometimes it's somewhat bigger things like how in the world is matt going to fit in all the classes that he needs to graduate (i think he's going on about 22+ credits for this semester - i lost count).

it's in those really low points where i feel like i have faith the size of a grain of sand that God really shows Himself to be faithful. God has blessed us in ways we never could have imagined. something as silly as the fact that it hasn't really snowed here in boston at all this winter (so far) which i think will go down in boston's history and being the mildest winter - i know God knows that i couldn't handle a blizzard and has been making this winter mild maybe just for me. not that i say that with a selfish attitude, but i know that He is looking out for me. my list goes on and on of all the silly thing that i get so worked up and stressed out about, but i'm glad to know that in the end God uses those things as a blessing.

so without getting worked up about it, but rather posting a prayer request, i know God knows where we're going to be after matt graduates in may, but the fact that we don't know is overwhelming. our prayer request is that God would present an opportunity for matt to work in ministry where he could bring home a paycheck. we pray that the opportunity would be so obvious that the decision would be easy and soon enough to plan the process of where we need to go.

we love you all and pray that you would see God's blessings in even the little things.
