The best Summer we've ever had both in U.S. and in Haiti
Why?
Fruit, growth, maturity and an awesome leadership team there
and Sabbath here - searching for normality; we found a form of it
Camps, gymnastics, vbs, family and friend visits...all the stuff Summer dreams are made of.
I have to admit that nothing seems normal about this world and in some form that blesses me because I find no comfort and it confirms that this world is not my home.
I look to the heavens in my heart and yearn for the coming bridegroom.
I am thankful everyday for my adventurous partner in crime and the marriage we share. I adore my kids, they have my heart. That's scary because they, like me are such a work in progress-
That is vunerable and scary because I have so many aspirations and desires for their hearts, futures and lives and so I battle trusting that God loves them far more than I'm capable of and that He has a plan for their lives that might night be mine.
I'm seeking Him with all that I am for them but I'm still extremely flawed in that. I am so thankful that love covers a multitude of sins because I love fiercely and so I return to our beloved island, so broken filled with a fighting love, hopeful spirit and ready for our family to be back together as one confident that there is no better place to be than in the will of God.
I have missed them so much -
This year:
7 in college in Port au Prince
1 possible internship
2 in college in the U.S. one about to graduate
2 second graders
4 sophomores
3 Seniors
2 interns
4 employees that are really more like family
and a bunch of students and community to get home to
What more could one ask for?
Blessed.
