Sharing our hearts

Last night we got the privilege of telling our church family about our trip to Africa. We felt extremely honored and super excited to share with people SO important to us about SOMETHING that is so important to us. It was a beautiful merging of both. It went really really well.... in my opinion. I absolutely hate being in front of people. If you have ever met my husband it is obvious that one of his many gifts is being in front of people. So the plan was he would do most of the talking and I would just share whenever I wanted and a little 5 minutes about what was on my heart. Well.... I guess when it is something I am passionate about I have no problem talking. We got home and Brian was like , " Well for someone who doesn't like talking you sure made it hard for me to get alot in." ( He was joking. ) It was just SO awesome to be able to share all about our trip and Africa really is such a deep love in my heart. Brian put together an awesome 5 minute video of all of our pictures and short clips we took. I think the most exciting thing of the night was our churches response. It seemed like everyone was really excited about this call on our lives and extremely supportive.

Last night seemed very surreal to me. I felt almost like I was in a dream. I have been falling more and more in love with Africa over the last four years but never thought everything would come together as quickly as it has or so nicely. So to be in front of our church family, exposing what has been going on in our lives, putting it all out there and then getting such a great response, was incredible. I am just blown away by the faithfulness of my God daily. I put up all of our pictures from Africa on my facebook, so if you would like to see them check out my facebook page. There are just too many to put on here. Right now where we are at in the process is just taking some time off.

Going there for 10 days and then coming back to the States has been alot of work in itself, and there are many decisions to be made coming up and honestly it can all get a little overwhelming sometimes. We are focusing on our babies right now and getting back in a routine with our lives here and planning our next steps..... all while following the Lords leading. Please keep us in your prayers as this is a very pivital point in our lives and we are totally relying on our God to direct our paths.
