You see, I believe there is a divine kind of power that comes from sharing our stories, life lessons and divine appointments. And more importantly, I believe that others need to hear our stories so they won't be afraid of saying "yes" to something they've been thinking about for a long, long time.
Some people "liked" our Guatemala team pics and others "loved" them.
But something was missing.
Someone was missing.
You see, ordinary people like me don't just decide one day to hop on a plane and fly off to another country to love on missionaries and spend time caring for abandoned and abused children. It takes preparation and sacrifice and planning...it takes a leader to step up and do the REAL work.
This is the pic that was missing from my most recent trip. This is the person who made that trip (and all the other ones - and ones to come) possible:
Some people have asked me what my husband thinks of the CRAZY things I do, and I finally found an article that sounds very much like the life my better half and I have lived for 20 years. He's the reason we have the children we do, he's the reason we have gone through, survived and thrived after heartaches, and it's his faith and trust and love of God that makes our wonderful, hectic, imperfect, crazy life even possible.
Someday he wants to lead teams with me, but for now he leads me by leading behind the scenes and making sure that when he drops me off at the airport with 200 lbs of luggage plus a carry-on, I have everything I need and that things on the home-front will stay mostly 'normal' while I'm gone.
I share the following blog post because what is said in this story is part of our story, too. Maybe it's a story you or someone you love needs to hear today.
