Done...finished...never again

will we walk into Crazy House, PA.

It was not a picture perfect ending. In fact, it was awful. I have never left ANYWHERE on a bad note.

God, bring on the healing.

I am sure we will have more to post on closure...but let's for now look to the future...Rwanda in 1 month...and that 1 month will be filled with enough adventure of its own :)

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. We could not have done it without you! GLORY BE TO GOD FOR THE GREAT THING HE HAS DONE.

Much love,
Emily Elizabeth

2.5 more days

a blessing?

well, it is for now:

We are down to 4 kids in our home, with one possibly leaving after he graduates next week...so we may only have 3 boys in our final weeks.

Thanks God for the break...You provide just what we need to not just survive, but also to THRIVE.

Much love,
Emily Elizabeth

one step closer

Welp, we told the boys tonight that we will be leaving in three weeks. It went way better than we thought it would...they were respectful and even told me congratulations on almost being done with my Master's Degree. We still have three weeks though...so keep us all in your prayers, please. Jon will be starting his drive to Arkansas to put our furniture in storage on the 24th, if all works out the way we hope it will. I will be flying to Houston for my cousin's wedding on the 28th. It's all coming so fast!

Best case scenario....the next three weeks will be pleasant and everyone will look like the pancakes above when we leave {made by one of our aspiring chefs in the process of making funnel cakes}

Much love,
Emily Elizabeth
