It is hard to believe that we have been here a week and half and we have no idea when we will be able to go home. This place is so different and so much more western then we were expecting. With everything going on and with all the new things to see and do we have been very overwhelmed. But about 2 or 3 days ago I had had enough. We weren't planning on vacationing and so my mind wasn't set on that, and it is so different here and hard to see how we will get involved that I was really struggling. Not knowing how much longer or what we would be doing was very frustrating for me. However, I was reading in Mark at the very end and it said that the disciples went out sharing everywhere. And I feel like I have been so focused on our people group that even though we pr.. for other areas of the world, I didn't see me going to any other areas. But it was so good for me to see that once again it is not about me or what I want, but it is just about sharing no matter where He puts us.
It is so easy to get consumed by our plans and what we think we should be doing and where we should be doing it that we forget that He uses us wherever we are and that if we are just open to being obedient He can even use us here!

So very true. Been trying to remind myself that we are all 'missionaries' where ever we are placed, there are people to share with. But it is so easy as mom's to be focused on the tasked at hand and forget to look around and be in the moment that has been provided for us!
