Here it is! Missy and I are so excited to share our life with you over the next 4 months. As we prepare for our trip to Indonesia there are so many questions that tend to come--more often from other people rather than ourselves,expectantly so.Most people's main concern, as well as ours, is Brooklyn. I mean, come on! You can't look at that chubby little face and not wonder, "How in the world is he going to handle a 22 hour plane ride followed by a bowl of Indonesian noodles?" Here is our response: We would much rather run full force the race God has called us to than tip toe through life to a safe death. That includes Brooklyn. We're in this together.
We can already tell that Brooklyn knows something's up. He's a little more clingy with Missy and I. On the other hand, he's been practicing guitar to his Hillsong Kids DVD a lot more than usual. Some people may laugh at that or think it's just "cute." But Missy and I truly believe that Brooklyn is not only going to encounter the powerful love of God on this trip, but he's going to minister that same love to the children of Indonesia--even at the age of 2.
Our week ahead is full of family dinners, last-minute details, and packing. But in the midst of it all we don't forget what this trip is really about: God's love for the world--all of it.
