"Before"


















Here you have it - the "before" going-around-the-world shot.

We left So. Cal. this morning for Indianapolis, where we're reuniting with Jason's lifetime friend Jeff Mikels and his family. They are in the process of planting a new fellowship in Lafayette, and as I (Brooke) write this, I can overhear the conversation below me and the heart-catch-ups. The lessons of the past few years, the encouragement of ongoing purpose, and reflection on our great Father.

Leaving today was very surreal. We would be lying if we said we felt prepared for all that is ahead, but we know the One who is.

Adjustment of the day: Separating ourselves from our cell phones! Odd because we're so used to immediate and unrestricted access to our friends and family. Sure it's only a tiny drop in a big bucket of adjustments away from our cozy lifestyle :).

Petition for the day: Wherever we are, to be all there.
