We all know the old saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." I have to admit, I have thought it a cheesy saying from time to time. But after a week of being my love being gone, I am not sure I will say that ever again. It has been an amazing week for Him and the rest of the mission team, it has been an amazing week for me. The Father has taught me so many things, one of the most important is that my husband and I, we are ONE. I have missed him more than I thought possible, on several days, my heart hurt with the intensity of the longing. I can hardly wait to see the joy in his eyes as he tells the stories and cry with him as he shares the deep emotions that he is bringing home. One thing is for certain, these 9 that left last Monday, are not returning the same. I pray that I have the grace to handle the new heart that is returning to me. For this week was ordained since the beginning of time and is really the beginning of an amazing journey that is going to take Kendall and I (and our children as well) a life time to live out. I have never been more thankful for technology that kept us close...email, facebook, skype...I thank you. While he was living an adventure, I got to live it thru the beautiful words he blogged and posted on facebook. I have enjoyed good times with sweet, new friends, been totally attached to my computer as I did not want to miss a post or blog coming from Kendall or anyone who was with, I have had something special to do with my kids each day, stayed up too late watching the olympics, spent more time on facebook than I thought imaginable...I could not be more ready for my beloved to be home! Although I don't believe life will ever return to normal after this trip, I can hardly wait for what is waiting around the next corner! Isn't God good!!! I love that His dreams are bigger than mine...I want your BIG dreams Abba Daddy, don't ever let Kendall and I settle for anything less !!
Welcome Home Beloved, I am Blessed to call you mine!
