THREE!!!!!

If you have been reading my blog since we moved, or for any length of time you perhaps know what this title is about. You can look back here and here and even here to see where I have chronicled the time stamps of this journey we are on.  

Today is a big milestone for us.  We have now lived overseas for 3 whole years.  I think at the outset of this adventure I wasn't sure we would make it this long.  There have been lots of difficult days, but also many days of triumph.  There have been days of longing for family and "home" and days where we have felt we wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here in Asia.   We have truly been blessed to live here and have one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. 

We have made amazing friends and relationships here, more than we ever dreamed.  We have learned a lot about ourselves and seen so many ways we can grow and change to follow our Lord even more.

I want to say "thank you" to those of you who have continued to support us and love and encourage us through prayers, emails, and encouraging words.  Our family has been a constant support to us and has encouraged us in so many ways, from packages, to phone calls, to sending pictures, to actually coming to see us!  We have been so blessed over the last 3 years to have so many visitors as well. Our TN friends are always welcome in our home....we are so blessed to have so many new TN friends and relationships!!  Christmas teams from OH and MO were soooo fun and my kids still talk about the amazing performances we were able to do together! :)  As I relflect on all the events and fun from the last 3 years I am overwhelmed with the Father's faithfulness not just to us, but to the people we serve.  

So now that 3 years is behind us, we continue to count....for we are not through here, only just beginning.  However, we are about to take a break and come home for 6 months.  So for a little while, we are going to be counting down the days until we go home!  July 1 is coming soon!!
