HOME SWEET HOME

we’re baaaack! after three plane rides (5 hours, 12 hour & 15 minutes) we arrived back in victoria yesterday afternoon at 4:30pm. i slept like a baby last night for 12 straight hours (probably why i’m still awake right now)! i was very happy to get home. india was very incredible but very different culturally and very dirty. i stayed in the shower last night until the warm water ran out and it was just bliss.

i have so much to share with you! and i will in due time. i’m going to get back on my (hopeful) blogging schedule of 3x per week. life’s getting busy as always with fall on it’s way. this weekend we’re celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! then it’s major music time for james and major hermeneutics time for me but i promise, i won’t leave you hanging!

ok i have a full day at work ahead of me so i better get to bed!

sleep tight,

i’m so sorry! life has been absolutely craaaaaay leading up to our trip but the day has come and we leave TOMORROW. we have a two day lay over in hong kong and then we have a jam packed time in india!!

i’ll try to update here & on our thoseliiras blog!

i just wanted to say another THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us through prayers and funding!!! it’s insane, and still boggles my mind, but God provided all the funding we needed!!

thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

POCKET INSPIRATION

today i had a mini breakdown. let’s just say life has been a bit crazy lately. since we’ve gotten coco, i’ve been coming home on lunch breaks to feed and play with the little fur ball. it’s been a lot of driving back and forth (we just have one vehicle). and today, i was just tired.

i raced home to her meowing for food. i feed her and then water the plants on the balcony (praise God i have not killed them..yet). i then started to prep some chicken for dinner but then am interrupted by a little yet piercing meow.

meow.

meow.

meow.

meow.

don’t get me wrong, i love this little kitty. and i know that kittens need attention and affection and all that jazz it’s just i was very, very, very, tired (and emotional and probably hangry too).

i tried giving her a bit more food…she gobbled it up and then kept meowing. i tried petting her…nope still more meows. i tried playing with her…nope still more meows.

today i could only handle so many meows. i crumbled on the couch. it was messy. and then i remembered the scripture cards i made yesterday that were conveniently in my pocket….

and breathe.

xo,
