Pics


1. The dining room of our apartment in Delhi!

2. Our going away party at our church.


3 of my favorite verses during theses past 6 months


 

1.Ps 139:9-10 This was us this morning - rising before dawn to board a plane for the furthest ocean.  We know even there God will guide us and will strengthen us.

2. Ps 126:3 This has definitely been our situation!  God has blessed us in so many ways!  We made a bookmark to help us remember all the ways He's provided for us.  He sold our home in 2 weeks.  He got all 6 of us 10 year visas for India.  He raised the money we need to do this.  He sold our cars within 5 days. He got us an apartment that we'll be able to go to directly from the airport.

3. Isaiah 30:21 God has been leading us and telling us where to go and who to talk to throughout this whole process of moving back overseas.  We are thrilled to be going back with eMi.

Miriam's Massages (or was that messages?)

You know that kids say the darnedest things.  Here you will get a few funny quotes from our kids.
  • Chad said, "I don't know if you've noticed, Miriam, but I am not your mom." Moses interjected, "Plot twist!"

  • Chesna said, "You know what would be awesome? Swimming in popcorn!"

  • Miriam asked, "What's TV?"

Moses' Corner Kick

I had the best soccer tournament this weekend . I dyed my hair pink and we were supporting breast cancer. I scored an awesome chip shot that made every body go wild. I chipped it about twenty feet in the air. In the last game I scored a free kick from the eighteen yard box. That was my last soccer game with my friends and teammates. We got second in the tournament but had a blast
