These two kiddos light up our whole lives, and we pray that God prepares their giant hearts for the transition ahead.
Matt and I had the honour of speaking at Westside Community Church last night, to the Young Adults. We just shared our hearts- our journey towards this decision, the way God has been working in our hearts, and the divine appointments He has set up.
Literally every single day something divine happens in preparation for moving to the Dominican. It’s like our sandwich story of how God is working becomes a double patty, extra bacon, melted cheese, mozza, all inclusive deluxe burger or something.
Dozens of stories of divine intervention, but the last few days a young family reached out to us- a missionary family heading back to the U.S. from their time in Jarabacoa (the town we will live in), offering to sell us their baby beds, dishes, furniture… I was overwhelmed with gratitude- the Lord knew my Mama heart only needed baby beds for me to feel safe + HOME. However, we leave in 5+ months, so the question was… where to store these items? Before the day was done, another young lady teaching at Doulos (“Doo-lose” the school we will be serving at) messaged me on social media; said she has an extra bedroom, can she store all our furniture for us until we arrive?
And then today, ANOTHER young mom reached out to me from our little DR town to ask if we would be needing a nanny (YES! Sawyer will need a nanny for mornings while Matt and I work and Hayden comes to Doulos for Spanish Pre-K). She has her heart and soul invested in a nanny for her babies, one that has been their whole world for years.. would we hire her nanny, as they move back to the states in July?
And so….. we fix our eyes not on what is SEEN, but on what is UNSEEN. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is ETERNAL.
