Refreshed

It's been a busy couple of weeks. We have slept very well. We had lots of extra stuff on top of our normal stuff that made life a little crazy. We were preparing for our supervisor and his family to move, and of course we had to make their send off special. It was a lot of fun planning and I was pretty exhausted by the time it was over. We had a fun time and I was thankful to everyone who helped it go smoothly. We will certainly miss their family. It has already been weird emptying their house.


Their house is in the process of being sold. We've had lots of memories in this fortress house, and it will be very different not going out to this village often. We lived in this same house for over a year before they moved to our city. Over this process it's been good to be thankful for those memories, but not to let them hold us back to where Father is leading.


Monday we had our nanny come so I could get some good time of refreshment. I will have to be honest when I plan these sort of days I'm often distracted by being home and the things that need to be done. I had to smile because it was a day when our water was out, and every household task that needed to be done involved water, it was a sweet little gift. It was a beautiful morning to sit on our balcony and just soak up the Word. I loved every second of it. I love to listen to music while reading and I noticed a playlist I created shortly after going back to the states and it was a sweet time of being reminded of how Faithful He truly is. This sort of morning is going to make its way into our monthly routine.
