Almost A Year?

Well its official, in just 2 weeks, we will have been home for a year.  It seems like we just got here and it seems like its been so long all at the same time.  The hearts of international workers really are an inexplicable thing.  While we are enjoying being here with all the blessings of relationships we can tell that our hearts are ready to go back. What does that sound like you ask?  Our children begging to go back ASAP and the cold weather starting... just kidding :) It also means that we have a peace that fills us and excites us about the possibilities of all that waits for our family as we once again walk out in faith and the faithfulness of our God.  We know that he never promised us that it would be easy or that we would never grow tired but he has promised us that he will always walk beside us and he will always work things together for us if we love him and are wanting to serve him.  That is what excites us and knowing that the end result is that we will always be shaped a little bit more like our savior and we will glow just a little bit more with the love that he has shown us.
