So
what do you do when you hit the proverbial wall?
Three
months. That’s often when people overseas hit a wall. The language is hard. We
miss the kids, our home, and our friends. Getting the hot water fixed takes
days. HBI business is not booming. The culture seems backwards. The streets are
dirty. But people are friendly and helpful. And God is good.
Here
are some things we remember:
· Our worth as a person and our salvation do not depend on what we do or how we perform on a test.
· I am thankful Mark and I don’t hit the wall on the same day.
· Life is about God’s glory, His faithfulness, His steadfast love – not our feelings or work.
Psalm 36:7-9
How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.
Don't worry, we'll be there in 3 weeks! Love and miss you!

ReplyDeletemy first comment here ~ I am feeling for you, though I know you are not after any pity. I hope by this time that the wall is shorter or less thick, and that the people are still friendly and helpful. We know that God is still good and always will be. how comforting that His smile on you is constant in the Beloved. I know the anticipation of your kids' arrival is a buoy to your spirits! We do miss you and your constant, loving ways.
