Kai and I enjoying the last weeks or days before I give birth to his longed for little sister, Isabella. This pregnancy has been interesting, all together - to say the least. From the beginning, it was no question that if all things went well in the pregnancy that we would, once again give birth here in Burundi. I am about 37 weeks and feel as though at any moment, she will join us. I am extremely grateful for a Belgium midwife and new friend, Elise who will assist during the birth. She is great at late night advice from an American calling from the mountains!
It has been such a busy last few weeks wrapping up what seems to have a been a 2 month plan of action to prepare for new staff, transitioning to our land and moving... (as I am someone of an administration geek!) Organized, to the T. Isai and I have our 5 year anniversary this weekend and are looking forward to a much needed alone trip down south to a beautiful beach for a night's stay. Malaki will stay with the kids & staff and then Jose and Mari will come do a sleep over with him at our house... it sure is nice to have friends working with us here!
We have been extremely blessed as a family, and are growing in the Lord and His contentment as time passes. Learning that, when things go good or bad - in the end, the only thing worth taking to heart and grabbing hold of is simply, Jesus. Gaining all things, and at times loosing them all... at the end of the day we have something more precious, something more profound than the imaginable, everlasting life... eternity with the one who laid His life down. Something we strive to follow, someone we strive to be like. Jesus. Please be praying for our family over the next season as we adjust and enter into a beautiful new season of our lives. All our love...
