Well, we haven’t posted anything to our website in AGES, and during that time NTM converted our website into a blog. For most people, that is a good thing. Blogs are easier to post to and they are easier to read/follow. I, however, am not good at change (Yeah, I know, I’m in the wrong occupation if I don’t like change! haha), and it has taken me a while to get up the courage to figure out how to work a blog page. Now that I am writing this I realize that, once again, my resistance to change was silly. This is easy.
We are in the middle of a much bigger life change right now, and I am trying to remind myself that resisting this change would be silly. We are headed right where we should be! The change is good! And yet, I have to confess to you that it is hard even while it is good. I am the kind of woman who would be perfectly happy if I could live the rest of my life in the same house in the small town of Klamath Falls, Oregon. We have lived here in Chihuahua for three years, longer than we have ever lived anywhere in all our married life, and I am not feeling eager to rip our roots out again. So if you are thinking that all missionaries have a passion for endless travel and constant change, think again. Missionaries usually EXPERIENCE endless travel and constant change, but we don’t all like it. And I, for one, certainly don’t have a passionate love for the rootless, limbo feeling.
I do have a passion for Christ, though. And He has a passion for building His church. I am completely convinced that we are going to have the privilege of participating with Him in building His church while we are in Durango. So off we go! And while I am not overly excited about the packing, saying good-bye, house-hunting, etc, I most certainly AM excited about the role we will be playing in Durango. More about that soon. At the moment I have a one-year-old who is passionately reminding me that his current greatest concern in life is getting out of his high chair RIGHT NOW!
