Plans Change...its life, Roll with it!

Flexibility - its a good thing!
Sometimes we make our plans and God directs our path a different way then we expected to go! The good thing is - to keep GOing! Time is precious.
All to say, we are coming home! Australia will have to wait for us ...maybe one day we will make it there! Only God knows~ This season of training and outreach overseas is coming to an end and whats around the bend? We'll be praying into that and enjoying our family this summer at the same time. We need a break, especially the kids - to relax, to breath, and to hear from God on whats next. We could throw you an idea of sorts but there are several ideas in our hearts at this point.

This summer we will focus on finishing the year of homeschool with the kids, and having fun with them at the same time! The past 2 months have been quite strenuous on us all. We hope to vacation some and soak up the sun with friends and family as well.

May God steady our hearts and minds to hear from Him and rest that He is in control. A few things we do know, God is God! He is faithful and true.. gentle and kind. He leads with grace and helps us finish strong. Mere determination may only take us half way through when His strength meets us and whisks us away through to the end! Thankful for His unwavering love that has picked up our brokenness and allowed us to see others the way He has shown that He sees us. The best way to relate to those around us is to realize we all have brokenness somehow and all need the Savior to heal and mend the wounds of this imperfect and pretty bumpy road. The ride and adventure can be enjoyed looking through lenses that see blessing in the little things in between sleepless nights, runny noses, and sore backs. So we look for the little bits of grace along the way that puts a smile on our faces and just thank God we can keep going.

We missed home many times on this journey, missed the familiar smells and warm faces and hugs of family. It really is a sacrifice to do what we are doing. But we know the outcome will outweigh it in the end.

We are so grateful for those along the sidelines cheering us on! We couldn't do this if it were not for our family and friends to support us in the mission.
