I am happy to say that Isaac, Joel, and I survived the ten days that Peter was away at "Mountain Week" doing extensive training. It was a long week and a half for everyone, but I know Peter learned a lot and had a great training experience, and the boys and I spent a lot of quality - and quantity - time with friends and did some fun things. Thanks for your prayers during that time!
We have recently been enjoying peak season here in North Carolina - about a month later than I'm used to, being a Northern girl. Though I didn't relish the long, hot, humid summer, we are being richly rewarded with a slow, colourful fall. It IS hard to believe that Thanksgiving is around the corner though!
One of the things that I will miss when we head to the mission field is this season and all its colours. Yet God is using this time to remind me that there is beauty in change, even while there is sadness in saying goodbye - for a time - to the people and things that we love. Being here at JAARS has definitely been a time of transition as we look ahead to a major change. I sometimes tend to focus on the sadness in our change and not the beauty. Praise God that He sees the complete picture of our stories in all their beauty, as He guides us through seasons of change, sadness, and joy.
