As I write this post I can't help but laugh to myself about the timing of it... Just two days ago I was joking around about the mistakes that I have made in the language. I made the comment that you have to be able to laugh at yourself in order to "keep it real."
Well, the truth is that I feel like all I am doing is making mistakes, laughing at myself, and not getting any better. I hit the wall today...I got pretty bummed at our circumstances and about the uncertainties that our family has found ourselves in. I feel like we're not being as effective as we should be, especially not being able to talk to anyone in a meaningful way.
All those feelings changed with a Skype call today. After dinner tonight, we had some dear friends call. It was refreshing to see familiar faces, talk about our kids, and share our challenges with them. When we were concluding the call, my brother prayed a special prayer for us. A prayer that reached me right where I was today. What an encouragement they were to us. God is so faithful to take care of our every need, even when we are undeserving.
