And here we find ourselves once again

We are so thankful for all the prayers during our travel back. With two babies and too many bags, we were very nervous about that trip. We just knew that we would have to tough it out, but it would be hard...God blessed us so much by letting our boys sleep on the plane and enjoy traveling through the airports. We only had one melt down at the London airport when going through security for the 3rd time that day. Poor Wyatt had had enough. But once we were through security, we let him play and all was well once again. That trip was just a miracle in itself.

Well, here we are again. While in America, I dreaded leaving family and friends to return here, but now that we are back, it feels like home. The smells, sounds and way of life are all too familiar and we feel as though we never left in many ways. Wyatt loves being here. He loves the noises, the people, the craziness of life...Tate is adjusting. The noise bothered him at first, but the bright colors and total chaos seem to be fun to watch for him.

Jetlag has been fun and we are all going through it together. We are almost a week in so the worst of it is over and soon the boys will be on a schedule. Levi and I have had to hit the ground running, meeting with company people, catching up with what has been going on since we left, and finding old friends once again. Levi is gone right now. He left at 5am to make the long trip up the mountain to take our stuff to Shimla and plans on returning in the morning. Bless him.

It is HOT in Delhi! 110 degrees feels like you are on fire when you walk outside! The apt. we are staying in this week had great ACs but the electricity is struggling to keep up so it goes out quite a bit. We are having to adjust and that may be the hardest part so far.

We are LOVING the time together as a family. We've had a few friends stay overnight this week, but overall it has just been us and that is the first time since Tate was born that we've had a few days alone as a family. The Lord is renewing our hearts and passions once again and it is so great to be bombarded with a lost world and away from all that distracts us in America. We feel that we are being pruned once again and I must say that it feels wonderful to refocus on the real things that matter in life.

Poverty overwhelms you when you live in India and it is consuming my heart and thoughts once again as I find ways to give without hindering those who receive.

As much as we hate being away from those we love so much back home, we know with all our hearts that this is where we are supposed to be. For His glory, to make Him known. There is no greater purpose, no greater passion, no greater plan.
