Reflecting and Looking ahead

Ben and I were praying together today for closure from this amazing time and home and vision for what lays ahead! Isn’t it easy to look back on the past and wish for it again, as opposed to looking ahead with expectation?
 
Reflecting: The past five months have been filled with some difficult times facing fears but thankfully answered with hopes and good news. They have also been filled with great times teaching (every sunday to our friends at our home church, and also a training session with Camp Arnes staff), relaxing times having dinners, lunches and breakfasts with friends, peaceful times with our families, and the challenges of working on things for Titus Project while very far away. It has been a VERY meaningful, blessed time. We could not say enough great things about these past five months and we don’t regret a thing!
 
Looking Ahead: Even though it has been a very memorable, fulfilling time at home, we would be lying if we said our hearts are not aching to be overseas meeting people’s needs. Being home has been a little bit like being fish out of water. We love it here, but we long to be elsewhere at the same time. Does that make sense? Has anyone else ever felt like that? 
 
Only 10 more days until we head to Taiwan. We will cherish every one of them, every moment with family and friends…and then we will face forward, excited for what lies ahead.
