2076-2081

2076. a mini reunion with the Zambia team. same unifying playful spirit. friendships have been forged and it is encouraging to see them remain consistent. we shared joys and how God moved and continues too. i really love my church 

2077. an official job offer for nathan at crossroads, at least for 2 years, and that prospect inpires and excites us. thankful for the opportunity, thankful for the invitation, and thankful to dig deeper in the community and God centered life at crossroads. 

2078. making monster cookies with ben. thankful he wants to near me, that he verbalizes his love for me, his affection is not sparce, and he has a special place in his heart for his mom. i know it may not always be this way, so i am trying ti cherish it now

2079. watching Koko bag groceries without being asked or prompted. seeing her serve, help out where she can, she is growing so fast and i am enjoying watching her grow into a kind and thoughtful young lady 

2080. the ability to see long distance with both my eyes with no contacts, no glasses, is nothing short of a miracle. i just had laser eye surgery on the left eye and yes, it was scary, but it has made a tremendous difference in my sight! I am so thankful for modern technology, for access to even getting this done, for a kind and skillful doctor, and for new eyes!! i can see!!

2081. long last night talks with mom and dad. i appreciate them so much more than i ever did. more and more each day.
