This blogging thing is not going well with me. My life has had so little margin for the last year that there is barely time to brush my teeth or change my sheets! Life was not meant to be lived this way but it has seemed necessary for this season in order to accomplish what we were sent here to do, namely find a way for us and our team to be able to stay in North Africa long term. We accomplished that, by God's grace and are looking forward to a less-hectic life sometime soon in the future. As I write this post, I am sitting in my room in Switzerland, looking out the window at snow-covered mountains and listening to the distant jingle of cowbells as they roam across the hillside below. It is a scene so far from what I left yesterday; 100 degrees, garbage piled everywhere in the streets, stress and more stress, horrific traffic and so on. There will be stress of a different kind as I start my master's studies tomorrow. One course every week for 4 weeks! I will graduate on July 20th and I know it'll be worth it but it's a LOT of work until then. At least here, I'm able to concentrate on ONE thing and do it well, not 10 things like I do everyday back home. Before I left, I took our 2 interns and did a huge shopping for the Family Place. Here's a picture of the back of our van after shopping! I hope it will last for most of the time I'm gone.
