Ha! So today was much better of just being a new day! There is a yearly retreat for women serving overseas called "Velvet Ashes". Two other women, one who is Bajan but been a missionary in China the last 2 years and another lady from England got together to retreat. Brice kept the kids, and he discovered having all them without me all day is harder than he thought, I think. Or they just really missed me :)
The three of us ladies have so much in common, serving in a foreign culture and feeling like outsiders often and messing up often. All three of us have young children and run them around in various activities and church outings. And we also all 3 homeschool our kids, which we realize we love but also often times feel inadequate. So, it was the best time getting away together this year and talking together. God knew it was just what I needed. With all the moves, I rarely connect with other women and more just talk to my best friend, Brice, and hang with the kids. So, this was such a special time to just be with them.
All in all to say - God knows what we can bear and gives us what He knows is best for us.
