Faithful friends-
How do I put all of my thoughts on paper when in less than a week everything changes? Interestingly enough though, I feel like these are changes that God has been preparing me for much of my life!
I have much experience with caring for people, but none at caring for one person for the rest of our lives together. I have experience living in another country, Germany, but none in a Spanish-speaking, developing country. I have experience as a missionary, but none as wide open as we are stepping into.
At the same time there are many questions and fears in me, there is also much excitement to be committed to Stephen, to trust God for the provision of money, to get started in learning a new language, and direction for the next step.
This is just a beginning! Recently I read in the book Sacred Marriage that a relationship is a conversation. It keeps going with ups and downs, agreements and disagreements, understanding and misunderstanding. I invite you into this “conversation” with our experience as life unfolds for us!
There is joy in the journey,
