prayfordaisy:

Many things go through my head as I’m procrastinating the last minute scramble to get ready to leave. Things like wishing our circumstances were different, feeling stretched to the max. I’m also thanking God that we get another chance, we get more time with Daisy. Feelings can waver hourly so I must continue to think about what is true, what is good, what is beautiful.

We are convinced God does much more behind the visible stage of each person’s lives. He speaks and it’s up to us to hear. We are also convinced family and human relationship is a precious and fragile gift. It’s up to us to listen to each other. It’s up to us to nurture each other.

As we go on this pivotal journey halfway around the world seeking a cure for our daughter one thing is sure in a sea of unknowns: that is we don’t want to miss a thing. Not one inside joke, not one grimace while trying new food. Not one chance to hear the gentle sounds of each other’s musings.

We feel God has much to say to us, we want to listen. We pray and please join us in this prayer, that not only will He heal our girl but that He will heal our hearts as well.

That said, we are leaving our phones in the US and bringing one computer. We won’t have Internet or any screens in our apartment. We will not be checking email either. We want to be present, we want to be fully there. Not “m hm’ing” when our kids tell us stories while we manage our social media. Not staring at a screen instead of breathing in the history and beauty of the land.

We will however be posting weekly updates on what’s going on. (after we find an internet cafe!) We will be as thorough as possible so you can continue to pray with purpose.

You have all been a huge part of our lives since our girl ended up in the ER in September of 2009. Thank you. Thank you for praying, encouraging, loving, caring. We love you and look forward to sharing good news weekly over the next few months. Goodbyes are hard for us so we prefer to say “see you soon!”

Shalom!
