I've thought about doing my own blog for a long time. I don't know how good I will be at this, but I wanted a place to share about what am thinking and feeling as we leave for the field. Right now we are waiting. Waiting for visas- specifically Campus France to approve Chris's application. Waiting to buy plane tickets. Waiting to plan goodbyes. It is frustrating, but (and I know this is cliche) it is a good place to be knowing you have to totally rely on God.
It has been that way for a while. God has slowly and painfully been removing our self reliance. Cutting away our false hope in things. Removing the support and chains of possessions. We still have a long way to go. Today a friend was over and we were going through boxes that I had sorted through last year and again painfully threw more stuff away. But do I really need the workbooks my kids finished last year? I think they may be a fire hazard...
I'm so glad God hears our prayers and he helps and sends friends to help with this process. We are not alone. We are blessed by our loving God and blessed that he disciplines us.
