Ruco and I have had to make some prayerful decisions lately very quickly. We made the decision to come back to France after only 12 days in the states because our placement in Africa was delayed until November-hopefully. Before we left France, one of the missionaries on the Campus Crusade team mentioned he could really use our help. After speaking with him, and praying about the decision with my in-laws, we really felt being here and helping out in the office is what we needed to do for this time period. So here we are back with our family in France. I really feel as though we are coming home when we are here. It is a safe place for us, and I feel very much under the umbrella of Gods protection.
Yesterday, I went for a sort of run around the village where we live. I was by myself, which was so needed. As I was praying, I just came to the realization that God really does know what is ultimately best for Ruco and I, even when I dont automatically agree. I love that I dont have to be in control of every decision, because I wouldnt be able to do it. I love that He renews my joy everytime I feel it has run out. I love that He is the author of my life, and I dont have to write a single page!! Mostly, I love that I am never alone, and He is always with Ruco and I in every decision.

I'm so glad we finally got each other on the phone! I was refreshed and renewed with a hope in a God with NEVER disappoints and is uncontainable in our little pretty boxes tied up with darling little bows. Even GOOD things can be out of God's will and timing for us but.....he longs to give us the desires of our hearts! Thanks for helping me remember that always. I love you!
