In so many ways we think being in a place like Indo was so good for us because we COULDN’T afford a huge TV there. We COULDN’T buy two cars. There were a lot of things we just couldn’t GET, either. :) I think it’s made it easier coming home and only having one (small) TV…and only having one car and being ok. Anyway…yeah, just me thinkin’ aloud.

God is BIG…and really, I didn’t even touch that one on this post…that’ll be an entire post (or several!) in itself.

Hope you are doing well…stay cool! 100 degrees? YIKES! And thanks for praying, too.

(((hugs)))

I was just telling my husband last night that I don’t want any material thing to matter to me. If it were to be taken from me, I would want to be fine. It’s a struggle! It goes against everything in the culture around us. But, I’ve found in these recent years that living a more simplistic life is better on families and marriages too. Again, many won’t understand it.

And God IS big! He blows me away. Truly! It’s humbling to know the God that cares so deeply for me, cares just as much for you and Tobin and those in Indonesia. Yeah…..humbling.

It’s pushing 100 degrees the past 2 days here, the heat zaps my energy. I’m off to la-la land! G’nite, sleep tight :o)

(((hugs))) And prayers regarding that home situation! Your name has shown up a few times in my journal! His will, not mine. I’ll screw it up everytime! ha ha!
