Home, I think?
I am home. After a boat, bus, taxi, flying from Manila to Tokyo to Portland to Boise, I am home. It is so nice to be home with Matt and Will. The weather is crazy dry and summer. The trip was really good and the only thing was that I was freezing the whole time. My body isn't use to air conditioning. I am sure I will adjust back to it just fine though. haha... It is so quiet here at home.
I woke up early, not surprisingly, and have been sitting here thinking. One how I love the cool morning air, and two how much I am going to miss everyone. The midwives with all their talking, dramatic televisions shows, laughing and just love. The kids next door in the orphanage playing, crying, and just being there. And the Eheler and Eepen family. The love and laughter they showed me. I will dearly miss it all. I am so blessed! So blessed to have experienced it all.
Now, for the next chapter. I left the Philippines with all my birth numbers, all my other numbers I need to qualify for my test in February. I know that was only God's grace because my last birth was 4:51 am the morning I left. What an amazing God I serve. So, having that done I now need to study and finish up the rest of my little classes I have to do. I really am doing this. haha... I love my job and the people I get to serve. Thank you to all the families I got to help bring their babies into the world. I got to name a baby, have a baby named after me even though they only met me a few hours before the birth (I was the only white person there haha), fell in love with a beautiful baby with the cleft palate, made new friends and fell more in love with the people that forever have changed my life.
I wonder what God has in store for us. =) Well, i do a little but that is for a later time. Now I am going to pour myself into my family and find what I am going to do with my little life here in Kuna, ID. I do love my life!!!
