Moving is Hard,...But God is Good.

When your getting ready to move overseas as a missionary, there are alot of things that go through your mind. One of the biggest is the things that you are going to miss...the things and people that you will very soon say goodbye to, for me, that is family. Don't get me wrong, I love all the other little comforts that this country has to offer. I love being able to turn on the faucet and know that I will have water come out EVERY time. I love being able to crave a milkshake and just drive down the street and get it...I love getting to sleep in a perfectly controlled tempurature...but MOST of all, I love seeing my boys with their grandparents. I love how Jaden, my four year old, shreeks with joy at the sight of seeing his grandpa. I love how Josh, my one year old is just now beginning to say, 'mom' aka, 'grandma' (I am 'mommy' by the way).  When seeing them together it's easy to see that these kids are a joy and crown to them. Knowing that you are CHOOSING to seperate them is heartbreaking...I have lost several nights of sleep thinking about this. God is so good and encourages me when I am in that place. He lifts my head up to see what He has set before us...and reminds me that the cost is worth it all...He is worth it, His lost bride in India is worth it ALL. In saying that, it doesn't negate the fact that there is real pain in saying goodbye. 

There is real pain in saying goodbye,..but though the sorrow may last for the night, JOY comes in the morning.

When you are getting ready to say goodbye to so many good things, it can be hard. God in his great love constantly reminds us of why we are going.....

Here are some of the things that we have to look forward to....
