While Daddy was gone we experienced:
- water shortages every day
- unusual power outages morning, noon, and night
- a cockroach-infested master bedroom
- a rat in our kitchen--a rat that jumps and frollicks and isn't dead to date...
- a break-out of hives
- emotional drama (!)
- a funeral
- moths
- sleeplessness
But we also had:
- good Mommy/kid talks
- hot meals from our landladies
- moments of serenity in the midst of chaos
- a sense of teamwork
- popcorn/movie nights
- many chances to trust that He is who He says He is
- opportunities to witness unexpected grace
- oh yeah, and J rocked his test!
They were not easy, these past two weeks. I do not wish to repeat them for a long time (or ever). But they went by pretty fast and we survived. The Lord is good, and J comes home tomorrow morning. Thank you for your prayers.
p.s. He'll get his language exam results sometime this week and I will let you all know!
