When we are weak . . .

Our family in front of Schönbrunn Palace

in Vienna. This was the summer palace of the Habsburg Empire.

We didn't go in the palace, but the the Carriage Museum next to it -- it was one of the museums on our pass. It held many of the Imperial Carriages.

The wheels were huge!

This one is a little dark because it was taken after I got in trouble for having my flash on:) This was the one used for coronations -- lots of gold!

See that saddle? It was for Sisi the Empress. See the stirrup -- it's shaped like a slipper.

It's no surprise that we have had a rough 2012 so far. I am ready for January of 2012 to be gone and behind me! But, through a hard few weeks, when we have felt at our weakest God decided to show Himself strong. I guess, like He usually does:) We've been praying for months for God to grow our Sunday group. And this Sunday found me running to the door to let people in! It was a wonderful time of study and worship through song. It was a time of seekers trying to understand who Jesus is and what He can do in their lives.

While we have felt our weakest and least prepared -- God moves in a big way. We are very thankful and encouraged!
