Anticipation

The past several months have been spent in anticipation of this moment...

...of saying {a tearful} goodbye to our sweet middle children

...of going where God called {Matthew 28:19}

...of planning and packing

...of boarding a plane with our oldest and youngest

...of what God will teach us, how He will mold us {Isaiah 64:8}

...of the faces we'll meet and the children we'll teach {Luke 18:15-17}

...of fellowship with friends old {The Overflowing Cup} and new

...of relaying stories of our joys and mishaps and lessons with so many who are lifting us up in prayer

...of meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ {says Sean}

...of flying on a plane and living with friends {says Jack}

So we go in great anticipation of what God has in store, not knowing exactly what it will be, but knowing that it will be immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine because of His power at work in us for the glory of God. {Ephesians 3:20-21...loosely}
 
We will update our blog regularly (as will The Overflowing Cup), so check back often. Thank you for praying for our family and for the children and families we will meet and work with in Berlin.

Praying for you, and am so excited to see all that God will do in and through you these next couple weeks!
