Cora will adjust quicker than you and Jacob 3)don't worry about all the "stuff" you don't have. God already knows and you'll be amazed at the generosity of people and the ways things you need just pop up. 4)life will be hard when you get back. you need to expect that. it will not be an easy adjustment. you both need to be prepared to feel joy at being home but lostness because you don't fit in anymore and sadness because you miss your home in China. These were things I knew would happen but did not expect to happen with such extremity. Through all of it, the packing, the goodbyes, the adjustment, the job hunt, God is holding you in the palm of his hand, and maybe sometimes, next to his chest. - MacKenziepaul and mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326361257775262562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295309110117449262.post-81945641039891677262011-01-27T10:20:22.113-06:002011-01-27T10:20:22.113-06:00I just love watching you grow as a mom.

I am certain that God uses the blessing of children to mold us as parents!<br />The photo of Miss Cora is gorgeous!<br />I am sick over the fact that we will not meet in China before your departure.<br />Lucy's set back after my 1st mission trip to Cambodia in Dec will prevent me from traveling w/o her anytime in the near future.<br />Knowing we are more than 1/2 way thru our three year assignment in Hong Kong, makes me nervous. I am FAR more scared to repatriate than I was to come on this adventure.<br />How do I go back? I am not the same.<br />And therefore I am grateful to "know" you and will be taking notes as you pave the way on how to journey back home. <br />Praying for peace and His provisions.<br />Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,<br />KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158109379150463976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295309110117449262.post-11126344938221100072011-01-24T21:05:58.779-06:002011-01-24T21:05:58.779-06:00Praying for you Carrie.

Love the way God works...although I hadn't seen this post yet, these were the exact requests that I lifted up to Him. Well, maybe not the part about the car seat or the furniture. :) But God will take care of those too.<br /><br />Love you!Tara Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650391210454775068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295309110117449262.post-87998009655745798762011-01-24T06:58:34.534-06:002011-01-24T06:58:34.534-06:00Praying for you, Carrie...for all of you.
