New House, New Home...New Everything

Three weeks down. We tend to think the work of God can be set aside for you to transition and get settled and learn a little of the language and culture, but our God is not a God of this world, and for that I am truly happy, whether uncomfortable at times or not.

Last we checked in, we shared how God was already answering our prayers for discipleship and protection and good health and for a strong ministry to join in serving Nicaragua. God, always faithful, continued on by capturing my heart in the most unlikely way: challenges. I have to be absolutely honest and say that the last 3 weeks have been hard.

Arriving and Settling in for the Ride

I am pleased to share that we have arrived. We are home. It's been such a blessing to be here for only 3 days but to feel at home, in the exact place God has planned for us. I feel so deeply loved by His provisions, His answers to many prayers, and for the adventure we are on. The concept of adventure entered our mutual vocabulary with our first trip to Granada last summer, and it has been on my mind ever since. I started praying then for my own ability to be bold and courageous because it was in Granada last year that I realized that my husband is very much so....and I am not.
