We spent Easter Break in Michigan. Here a few moments that I managed to catch.
But, truthfully, most of the good moments happened when there wasn’t a camera around, or when you’re so caught up in enjoying the moment that finding a camera would never even cross your mind.
I’ll tell you this, at the Good Friday service, we were surrounded by family and there was a deep pang in my heart as I realized that one day soon we’d be leaving all of this and that it wouldn’t be four months or a year, it would be four years at a time that we’d be gone. I almost cried. I do that a lot more often than I used to. Life just seems more raw and moments seem more real as of late. I think it has something to do with getting a better look at the hurt and the lost-ness of the world around me. But it made the 5 days so much sweeter. One of my favorite times was around the campfire, all of us in and out of harmony, singing into the barely spring evening.
After going to PNG, it made us more anxious to get there for real. But it also made it harder for me because the reality of leaving our family, friends, and comforts here became more real.
Raw means you can feel,
pain, suffering
hope, joy.
It means He can touch you.
He has touched you.
Love you both!
