Just wanted to let you all know that I arrived safely in Maryland three weeks ago after a nice long 20 hour flight from Joburg. Thank you so much for all your prayers during my travel!
Who would've thought that being in ones home country could feel so strange? After 19 months away, I definitely sometimes feel like I've come to a foreign land, but I also have such a deep peace about being home for this season of my life! I have been spending lots of time with my family here and in PA. Yesterday, I started helping my mom prepare the garden for planting, which we'll do in the next month or so. In May I'll have the wonderful opportunity to visit some friends in Costa Rica, and in August I'll be off to Maine for a month to visit friends and church family there. In between, I'll just have lots of family time to share in beach trips, BBQ's, my niece's 1st b-day, going to the circus with my nephew and lots of other fun stuff. Yeah!!! Seems that when you've lived away from home for awhile, everyday family events can be as precious as gold & silver. I am so very thankful that the Lord has given me this time to be with my family!!!
