“…I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my God. My times are in your hands… Blessed be the Lord! For he has shown me His marvelous loving favor when I was beset in a besieged city…Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord!”
Psalm 31:14, 21, 24
PRAISE GOD we are coming home!

I’m crying happy tears for ya’ll! I’m so grateful to God (& you) that I’ve been able to follow your family’s story. Your trust and faith in Him when He called you to Vietnam without knowing when you would return home has been a blessing to me. And seeing him reward you for your faith with those big smiles, first steps and first teeth– Wow! (Although at the time teething probably didn’t seem like such a great reward.
I’ll be praying for a safe and smooth trip home.
