The beginning of reflection...

We left the MDS site today with a few different emotions. We only drove about 30 minutes to a hotel in Slidell but we felt that we needed to start moving forward. The kids were excited to get to a hotel and experience the full size bath tub!
I asked Willie what he was feeling or if he had a verse for me to post on the blog that would speak what he was feeling... I got a long sigh and then nothing... so I searched my heart and this is what I found: On the way out of MIssissippi there was a church sign that read "Aspire to Inspire before you Expire"
We will rest tonight and I'll continue our thoughts tomorrow. Thank you again and again!
Tisha we'll see you so soon!!

No, don't go back! Just kidding, I know you guys will be glad when you finally get home. I hope MS treated you well. Thank you for being so gracious and selfless to follow God's path here to help our neighbors. May He continue to bless you guys and those sweet babies!

It'll take a while before you figure out what you want to say. And then whoohoo for your readers, we get blessed by your writing and writing and writing and sharing and sharing and sharing!

Safe travels.

I think that the sadness you feel is just evidence of how much of your heart you invested in your work - the more you dive in, the more it hurts to move on. God bless you guys for giving so much in this season of your lives. I hope you guys have a great trip back!
