I mean, I'm not in the "here" that we're normally at. We are traveling and will be back to our normal "here" sometime next weekend. We've enjoyed spending time with long-time friends. Friends who encourage the mess out of us, provoke us to think about God's word authentically, challenge us with our normalcies and love us beyond what we deserve.
We've been encouraged, supported and squeezed extra tight by family.
We've had the privilege to speak with two groups about our ministry in Kenya and both times walked away more blessed than we could have previously imagined.
We've been spoiled rotten by having our sweet friend Paige travel with us to help us. Originally, her role was to help us with the kids, but I can see that she's really here for so much more. She's encouraged us as well, jumped into the thick of loading and unloading and just blessed us on every level possible.
I guess you could say that we're blessed to be here, rather than "here."
I hope to post again soon with pictures, updates and more info about Guinea-Bissau, our assignment in Kenya and just life in general.
Hey my sweet friend,
ReplyDeleteI've been praying for you, for your listeners, and for your future. So, I missed you during GB, I missing you now more than I thought I would. I'm not sure how I'll do come next July :)
I'm glad your trip is turning out better than expected. So thankful for your friend Paige to be there with you all in each step. May God continue to bless you during this trip with His joy and His challenges.
ReplyDeleteSending big hugs!
