Where to Begin?

It's hard to know exactly how to tell the story of the last few days. So many family and friends loving us, praying for us, supporting us and wanting to know all the details.  And then there is me, just trying to ease in, go slow, savor this new life, take it in slow sips, like a perfectly brewed cup of warm tea on a quiet afternoon after a string of hectic days.

I have created this slide show to tell the beginning of our story. It is hard to believe that a three hour plane ride and endless grace is all that was needed to transition from our life in Louisiana to life here. But so far, it really has been that simple. I know that the grace your prayers have won has made that possible. I cannot thank you enough.  For now, my thoughts are quietly forming themselves into all the things I want to share about this new journey.  While they incubate, enjoy the sights of life in Grano de Oro, Costa Rica.

  1. It figures. I've been on an internet silence for almost 6 months, and no sooner do I get back online to announce vacation plans and you are gone. Oh my friend, I am praying for all of you.
