Visit to Mexico

I must say it's a weird feeling to be back here in Mexico but not have our home here. Everything came together so quickly to get our things moved up to Texas. Last week at this time I bought my ticket to fly down....now here I am with our stuff all loaded up on a trailer bound for Dallas. We're grateful to finally get our things up there!

Today I had some time to reflect a bit on how good God has been to us as a family during these past 15 years in Mexico. It's hard to put in writing all that we have experienced since arriving here in '96 with our two daughters, Kaylyn and Kathryn. We've experienced great joy in seeing people come to know Christ, see them grow, and begin to minister actively in the body of Christ. Scores of youth have grown in their heart for ministry and love for children. Churches have grown in their vision to carry out the Great Commission. Perhaps the greatest joy is reflecting on how much we have grown in our own lives. We haven't "arrived" by any means but our faith in God has been tested and has matured during our years here. God brought us here to do a profound work in our own hearts and lives.

Now as we transition back to the U.S. for this next season of our lives, we leave Mexico with deep gratitude in our hearts for all God has done. A part of us remains here....wishing we could be two places at once! We're truly excited about the future God has in store while at the same time truly grieving that we're leaving a country where we have ministered for virtually all our years as a "family". God is good...and we look forward to all that awaits us as we continue our ministry from the "other side of the border"!
