A well loved word by me right now. I shouldn't complain, It does challenge me in ways that I wouldn't chose to be challenged, helping me to live out what I say I believe. It forces me to be a bit humbler than I would normally, and it puts me in a needy place, whether for emotional stability or just physical needs, pushes me to confess my pride, and get help from God or others. So, I'm trying to embrace this state where God has me, if you cant tell:)
After moving home from Asia, living with my parents for a month, and now living with a family of 6 for 5 months, we are:
1. Going on vacation with some beloved friends for a week
2. Spending time with Marks family for a week
3. Moving in with a family of 5 for June
4. Flying to Kentucky to find housing (leaving the kids:)
5. Visiting some churches
6. Moving into another apartment in July( this one is people free!)
7. Moving to PA for a few weeks end of July
8. Moving to Louisville, Kentucky early Aug.
Ok, are you tired yet?
Ha. I'm actually looking forward to it. After a challenging month, I'm ready for some change! And I'm looking forward to Mark having a little more freedom and for the relational time with loved family and friends.
Yes, we are now headed to Kentucky so Mark can study at Southern. Not my first choice, but I think it is the best option for us at this time. Have any of you, my friends ever even been to Kentucky? Didn't think so. Let us, your dear Collins', give you a sincere invitation to come visit us and check out the beauty.( so I hear).
Caroline is so capable. She is almost potty trained, and she (when she wants to) can do almost anything on her own. I can't believe how much I can talk with her and how much she can help me. What a difference 3 years old is to 2 years. AND, Lawrence. Ahh, the cutest. He is changing so much too. I'm so enjoying him. More than ever. He sleeps through the night now(well, most of the time). He says words, bebe(pacifier), yucky, dada, mama, etc. He is at the stage that he will come give you a kiss.
AHHH, that brings back fond memories of Asia and Caroline when she would give everyone a kiss when she went to bed. Remember that?
Ok, I'm digressing. A few pics and a hearty hello from a needy girl in transition.

Awww, Car steals our heart all over again every time we see a pic of her! And so wish we could hang with Law in this fun, engaging stage he's in! What an immeasurable blessing those two are. We love you guys and will be lifting up all the messyness (and embracing of grace!) that awaits you as in the transition ahead. P.S. It's almost a year since we got to crash with your fam last year in CO! Can you believe it?
Ok, my novela is over. Just wanted to say hi and send our love!
transition- i hear ya. i think our hearts are engineered to long for a final rest, and each time we transition, we are forced to remember that we haven't reached it yet...or maybe it's just that I hate packing.
Love seeing pics of the kids. Would love to see more pics of their parents, too :)
