After months of not updating I’m sure there won’t be anyone that reads this for quite some time. It wouldn’t be fair for me to disappear for months and then expect you to reappear just because I came back. This post is just to say that we’re here and that I do, in fact, intend to keep this blog going.

Not long after arriving in our new location, things started to unravel. It’s hard to choose the right phrase to describe the struggles we faced because it’s so hard to capture the challenge of what we were facing without sounding as if I’m questioning God’s control of the situation. What I mean is, if I say things started to unravel I am, of course, speaking of our experience of the situation. At the same time, we know that from God’s perspective nothing ever “starts to unravel.” He was not caught unawares or unsure of what to do. But we were; and it took a lot out of us.

Looking back, I wish I could have done better of recording the experience here but many times just making it through the day and keeping up with the responsibilities of life was enough. I captured a lot of it in my journal, but I don’t think I’ll go back and post any of it here. We’ve moved into a new season and it’s probably better just to move forward for now. I might go back and post some things as of the start of the new year – but that would mostly relate to new activities since the turn of the year or things I’ve been reading or thinking about since then. So anyways, here we are. I hope to establish a regular routine of sharing about our experiences here (as much as is possible, given the sensitivities of our context) and my reflections on this life to which we’ve been called.
