Where should I begin? Matthew has done an excellent job at summarizing how our lives have been in the last couple of weeks. We are glad that we can say we have a routine back... a pretty busy one, but it's nice to have one.
I am still helping lead the moms group in our church which I love doing. Work is going great. I am so priviledged to have a good boss, nice co-workers and a good christian friend in my team. Thankfully I am still focused when I am at work. However, the sense of realization that we only have about 3 more months before our goal date to leave to México is amazing. Time is going by so fast.
I keep thinking more and more how much our lives are going to change once we get there. I am grateful that the leadership of the church in Tenancingo have been graceful enough to allow us to spend the first months without a specific responsibility but instead, allowing us some time to process the transition. This is wonderful, especially because of the kids. They both will start school right away and we want to be sensitive to their needs and be available to get to know the school, teachers, other parents, the system... and the list can keep going and going.
We know it is so uncertain what is coming up and how our lives will be when we get there. We don't know what the future will bring and what trials may come our way. There is one thing we know for sure: Our Lord has our family in His precious and powerful hands and He, of course, does know our future. We can have no greater comfort than this.
Last night, as we were driving from church to go home, we were listening a song the kids just love. They cannot get enough of it. It is "I'm so happy" by The Second Chapter of Acts. As we all were singing the chorus I was reflecting how truly happy I am.
