I didn't even know my husband (we'd only known each other 3 months when we married). But I kept reminding myself that eventually, being with Mike would feel like 'home': familiar, comfortable, natural. I pray that for you guys, that it won't take long for you to be assimilated into the culture and you'll be able to lay aside every encumbrance and run with endurance as you share Jesus with your new neighbors.Joyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758283009198439912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35850141.post-1162940491107260402006-11-07T17:01:00.000-06:002006-11-07T17:01:00.000-06:00Thanks for that very sincere and heartfelt entry. ...Thanks for that very sincere and heartfelt entry. I feel so spoiled living in my little existence in the Flowerplex. Sometimes I wonder what difference I make in ANYONE'S life. I know that those you have to depend on for help are BLESSED by being able to serve you right now. You know, once you guys are "natives" of the area, you will be a BLESSING to someone else just starting out in the mission field (have you ever thought of it that way??) It is a humbling experience being dependent on others...but what a blessing it is to me to be able to serve someone in "need." Praying for you...thanks for sharing what God is teaching you. It encourages me!Schweers' Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613404218741599721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35850141.post-1162929319208213002006-11-07T13:55:00.000-06:002006-11-07T13:55:00.000-06:00Jenny, I will pray for you in making this transiti...Jenny, <BR/>I will pray for you in making this transition. I will pray that you find it easier to accept the help and support of those around you as you settle in and find your "Guatemala legs" and I will pray that you will find it easier to stay dependent.<BR/><BR/>You asked if we are struggling in our dependency? I am. I am struggling so much with my dependency, especially in the areas of motherhood. We have been having a very difficult time as of late and I know that part of the problem is my own spirit but, I am finding it SO hard to fix it! Please pray for me and the 4 little ones that are stuck with me all day long!stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958829488499475182noreply@blogger.com
