My favorite season is Spring. I love all the flowers blooming, trips to Caldwell Zoo, Luke and Jordan's baseball season, and just playing outside. This is a different Spring for us. Our lives are about to radically change - "the great unknown" that has always seemed to be far away is now hovering over our home. On May 30, we will cheer on Jordan as he graduates from kindergarten, and then we will load up the car and drive to Elgin, Illinois for 5 weeks of training with our mission agency. So, so much has to happen before May 30, and the problem is I don't even know where to start!! With everything about to change in our lives, it is so wonderful to know that our God never changes. I praise the Lord for His promise: "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Thank you Lord for going before us to Ecuador and walking with us through this unknown journey.
Isn't it comforting to know that the Lord is at work right now, preparing the details for your family. I can only begin to imagine how overwhelming this must be at times. We will continue to pray for your family. I so enjoyed dinner with your family and Aidan has already asked if the boys can come over to our house some time. Maybe we could work that out one Saturday and you could try and get a few things done with a few less helpers. Your family is already such a light in a lost world. Just by taking the step of faith and saying yes we will go you have already made an impact on so many people. You are an encouragement to us and you have a beautiful family. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask you a question...would you send me an email at www.christahagler223@hotmail.com whenever you have time and I will respond to it and save your email address.
It is the same bittersweetness for all of those that know you, love you and get to see you so often (some more than others!). Thanks for posting all that your heart carries. It is our priviledge to carry that with you.
ReplyDeleteSo great to catch up with your family on the blog! We are looking so forward to partnering with you during your journey to Quito! Praying for you guys...
