We leave for Botswana on the 16th....it's coming up fast, too fast!!! Got to finish this packing.....UGH!!!!

O.K....We're gonna try this again....

I can't believe my last post was over a year ago. I really should have been blogging this entire year if only for the purpose of remembering all that happened this year and being able to look back and remember the faithfulness of God through it all!
It has been a year of laughter, tears, family, friends, good times, and lots of indulging in American food! It has also been a year of favor and blessing upon our family. We are amazed at all the Lord has done for us. It has been beyond our wildest dreams...God is so good and faithful to His children!
We are currently packing to move out of our rental home, pack our crate, move in with my parents, and finish up the kids last few days of school. We are full of emotions, excited to go back in some ways, not excited to go back in other ways....the thought of leaving my family tears my heart out,. The thought of our kids leaving family, friends, and their youth group, tears my heart out but their is a call on our lives that is stronger than those emotions and a God that is greater and stronger and able to take care of us through it all. I want to be in the center of His will for my life, even if it means leaving all for the land he has called us to.......
