Goodbye Texas....Hello Georgia

       On Friday we left Temple TX and began our journey back to Georgia. We have sold both of our cars so we rode back in a Uhaul truck. It was a long night, but we finally made it to GA on Saturday morning. We were able to get everything unpacked and are starting to feel somewhat settled here. We had such a wonderful, but very sad last week in Temple. We have been blessed more than we could have ever imagined with the sweet friends and community that we found there. I think back to when we moved there and I really disliked Temple, and now I cry daily wanting to be back! Once again I am reminded of how faithful our Lord is, in that He provided friends, church and support for us there. I have no doubt that He will do that again in Peru. Temple will forever serve as a remembrance of His faithfulness to me. 

     

       So today we find ourselves near Asheville, NC at a conference through our mission organization called Living in Grace. We pray that this is a week of rest, refreshment, and joy in being in our Father's presence. We are excited to learn and be encouraged by the Mission to the World staff this week. We will be here until Friday afternoon and will spend the weekend with Nathan's family before he returns to Texas on Sunday for his final week of residency. 

       The Lord reminded me of this truth from His word today. Psalm 73:25-26 "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

     I will try to keep the blog posted this summer of our travels and plans prior to leaving for language school in August! Hope you all have a blessed day!
