upheaval

There are too many unknowns right now for this creature of habit.

I like to know what to expect, and right now I have no idea what to expect! We will finish our current term of ministry in July and head to Canada for a six month furlough before beginning another term. The details of our next term have been vague for some time now. We knew that Scott's ministry & focus would change, but we thought that our family would be back in Cuauhtemoc, fellowshipping in the same church, kids attending the same school, living in the same house. Now we're not so sure. Suddenly there are many options, some exciting, some not. I was surprised to find myself open to moving... maybe God was preparing me for this. My biggest concern would be moving the children to another school (they are very happy where they are). Anyway, Scott & I are seeking God's will in this and Scott will be talking to several local leaders in the next while to see if we can get a glimpse of what His plan is for us. We'd like to know before too long because there are a certain number of arrangements we will need to make before we leave for Canada.

I should also mention the big surprise I had today. Gabi (the neighbour I mentioned last week) stopped in to see me today. I had some old pictures out that I've been organizing so she started to flip through them and actually sat down and chatted for a few minutes. She didn't stay long, her baby was napping and she had to get back, but I am so pleased that she dropped by.
