On Their Own (with the Lord)
We kissed our girls goodbye and sent them to Taiwan this morning. You don't start out a day like that very often. They will be helping my sister with a project for the next month. Molly is developing a lesson series and needed an artist for the drawings. They will no doubt be helping out in other areas also, not to mention just having a wonderful time in a very interesting culture.
I guess that's the way we brought them up...off running around the world. We have traveled as a family to many places on mission trips. Australia, Jamaica a few times, Kenya, and a few trips to Taiwan. It's one of the blessings of homeschooling your kids...just pack them up, knowing the experience will impact their lives as much as it does yours. Nothing like a few weeks in Jamaica to teach you how rich you are and how rich in faith the believers are there.
Laura was in Asia for ten weeks last year. Nathanael was in Italy. This is the first year in a long time that I haven't been outside of the country. Usually it involves leading worship at a missionary convention somewhere or helping with a youth trip. I found myself wishing I was going with them. But it is also cool to see them going on their own.
If you get the chance, say a prayer for them...and their dad and mom.
