Crazy, Beautiful Life

I haven’t written here in a while. Not because I don’t have things to say, but because I don’t have the words to describe them.

I wish you could taste the strange collision of life here. How it is the best job we’ve ever had, and yet how it is also the hardest. How it is so fulfilling, and yet so devastatingly difficult at times.

This past month has been a beautiful one. A combination of all kinds of things that have caused us to throw ourselves on God. The result? Abundant grace and strength for each day.

We have been taking over many of the responsibilities for running the NTM base where we’ve been living for the past few months. It’s an overwhelming job at times, but we’re slowly learning the ropes.

And we just found out on Sunday that we’ve made a lot of progress in the trade language! Clint is at Capable Mid (level 8 out of 9) and I’m at Progressing High (level 6 out of 9). We still have room for improvement, but at least we are making progress and learning so much! Getting near the end!

I’m so glad God is in control and is faithful to complete what He started. He’s so good! I’m thankful for that… otherwise what we’re doing wouldn’t matter at all!

We’re grateful too for your prayers for us! I wish you could know how much it encourages us to know that people are back home praying for us. It helps us get through the stressful days. THANK YOU!!!!

Annnd.... a picture of Kyler just for fun. :) Love this little guy and the joy he brings!
