I think we stumbled on 10. Though, looking back I wouldn’t trade it. So many things learned. Our experience became part of our preparation, we did not give up, how could we deny who God made us to be and what he has spoken in our hearts to do? We are back here working towards getting back. It’s taking longer than expected. It’s hard, it’s frustrating, it’s learning to be patient, it’s learning to persevere against the whispers of security and comfort that tempt me to consider staying stateside. It’s learning to balance family needs in a healthy way with our passion to work overseas. I love reading your blogs because they are a blast of honesty in missions, they are real, they are gritty, they are stirring.
