Thoughts on the Journey

Bella started school this week. At some level sending Bella to school is unrelated to our journey to Ireland, yet at another level the reality is before us that all of our kids will be going to school in Ireland. The need to transition them toward that change is real, but not pressing. It’s in the back of our minds.

We are slowly beginning the support raising adventure. I’ve often heard that a big part of any endeavor is stepping out the door and getting started. It’s been hard to get started. Life gets in the way. I’m slowly recovering from knee surgery. I’m getting around well now. Laura has been swamped with birthday parties, kid’s trips, the CRCS newsletter et al.

My work at the church is good, although I have divided passions. I know that God has called us leave, just not yet. I long for us and our church family to continue to encounter the God that has grabbed our family and shaken us. I see Him at CPC. He is at work here, grabbing folks.

The journey continues. Please pray that our family and our church will continue to experience the ongoing conversion that is needed to see the world with God’s eyes and continue to pursue His mission.
