Oh, the mess!

Here we are, in the middle of what used to be our home. Now it's just piles upon piles and a mess that seems it'll never end! But, in the middle of this mess, we see some progress. It seems like we'll have to go through this stage to be able to start over. Isn't that just like our spiritual journey? We create piles upon piles of mess, and we need to go through a cleaning up process, where God cleans us from sin and reorganizes our hearts. We'll make it through. We've been there before and something tells me it won't be last time we'll be moving. But out of the mess will come peace and a sense of renewal. A new place awaits for us. A new beginning. Thank You, Lord for giving us new beginnings!

There and back again

So, here we go... Two weeks from today we'll be embarking on an airplane back to Brazil. We are excited for a new adventure, but sad to leave friends and family behind. It's been five years since we came back from Brazil to the US. Five years of much needed healing and renewal of our souls. We feel that God has been working in and molding us. We have learned much about His love and grace. We have learned to put in practice Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

So, we'll keep trusting, knowing that He'll show us what steps to take next. Back in Brazil, in a new adventure.
