Do you remember the days of the roundabouts at the park. People would pile on this crazy ride and someone who wanted to make others sick would quickly spend the “puke machine” until someone would either fall off or fulfill the name previously given to the roundabout. Oh the fun we had…
As we reenter the states one of the questions we are asked most often is, “How does it feel to come back to the states for a time?” Up until this morning it was difficult to relate the feeling we had until I saw a picture of a roundabout.
When our family steps back into America, we find ourselves on a roundabout. A roundabout where friends, family, and newfound communities come and see us as we spin one hundred miles an hour. As we spend we shout hellos, love yous, and share an updated journey on how God is moving at the House of Moses. As the spin continues these friends, family and newfound communities leave and go back to their life here in America as a new set replaces them. Again we spin and shout all the above over and over.
You would think that after a few years of doing this, we would be able to find a balance of the sharing, planning, spending time with family and friends, and etc. but we have not. For this, we thank you for your patience and love as we navigate this new curve in our life journey.
I do want to express our deep soul “thank you” for those that stand at the proverbial roundabout of our life here in America during the summer. You will never know the great encouragement God brings to our lives through your smiles, prayers, hugs, and listening ears. These moments with you, although brief, challenge us to continue the journey we are on in Haiti.
We praise God for each of you!
