The first post....

So, here it is, our first blog post. A few weeks ago I came home to see Andrew beaming and with an excited, “guess what?” voice, he proceeded to tell me he wanted to show me something. I was a bit hesitant thinking he was going to enlighten me on the newest model of gun put out by Springfield or the latest advances in the budget that would allow him to buy such a gun. Instead my eyes fell upon a blog page with “Ternes Trekkings” standing out in bold letters across the top. I was a little caught off guard. I was excited about the prospect of having a blog, but I can’t tell you the last time I had heard the word trekking and it was being used to describe our lives together. When I inquired about the name, he was quick to read me the definition. According to dictionary.com, trekking means to go on a journey or trip, especially one involving difficulty or hardship. At first, I was a little sad that this was the word picked to describe our lives together. Andrew then went on to explain his reasoning and I feel he nailed it on the head. He said our life will be a journey that will be difficult due to the sin in the world and the fact that we are not yet in heaven. The more I have pondered this idea, the more certain I am that this word is perfect in describing the future of our lives. When I think of a journey, I think of a long trip that may be rough, but has a much anticipated destination. That is indeed true of our lives. The road ahead will surely have rough times, but this trek is taking us toward our Lord and Savior and finally being with Him in heaven, our final destination. So enjoy the updates of our trek together.
