Its really hard to believe that in just 66 short days we will be in Brazil. I don't believe its really sunk in for ether of us. Little by little things start falling into place that were just something written in our calendar, that makes the reality slowly come about. There seems to be a common assumption that due to my growing up in Brazil leaving is all excitement and no difficulty, that assumption isn't true at all (but that's going to have to be another blog post :-P). Goodbyes are hard and changes aren't always easy, life is crazy right now, good thing we have a God who is faithful and steadfast. We are so blessed and excited to see what God has for us in Brazil! Thank you for all the prayers and support.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
I can see how it can be conflicting. Exciting and hard at the same time. Exciting to be finally almost doing what want to be doing. Difficult to get all the details lined up. Sad to leave friends and family. Happy to be nearer to other friends and family. And even scary. Will we we able to do the job that we feel called to do? Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteIt is so true. Many mixed emotions, a lot of "bitter sweetness" :) Love you!
