2015 is my year to share of God's faithfulness. On My Wall.
Last year I was in the trenches, bringing my fragmented family through a serious transition.
Two years ago, I worked too many hours on-call evenings, nights, and weekends. And burnt my kids out. I loved my job, but it wasn't good for my family. God tenderly led me through the tough decision to let go of all that we owned and understood in Kenya. We moved back to the states for the last time, with no plans to return. Another big good-bye after too many far-wells since Ryan died.
Hence, 2014 was about re-grouping, steadying ourselves, finding another new normal.
I've chatted with many friends who've made this transition before us and most shared that it took a good two years until their passport country felt like home. A passport country is where a missionaries passport is issued. For us, it's the states but could be Korea, Brazil, or Canada. Our actual country is which ever one we were living in at the time. Home feels like a combination of the two, neither feels totally comfortable.
In which case, we are 1/2 way through our two year transition. And things, attitudes, adjustments are getting better.
And God is challenging me to share about his faithfulness this year. And that is the purpose of this blog.
