We are in our fifth day of MOP. My brain is overwhelmed and my heart is broken. What a spot to be! At this point in life the only thing you can do is to depend on and rejoice in the Lord who is in charge of not only my life, but the entire world!
Yesterday was a stressful day - topics included suffering and persecution in the morning and moral purity in the afternoon. It was a slap in the face with reality. We are going to a safe country so in a sense we thought we were "safe." The discussions were centered around the continuum of suffering - from inconvenience to martyrdom. Once again the "rose colored glasses" were removed. I had to do quite a bit of thinking on this quote....
"The man who is afraid to suffer cannot belong to him who suffered." Tertullian
Still having to ponder that one....
We have enjoyed some time with the kids (played a game of Phase 10 last night that lasted 3 hours), laughed a lot at what they are learning and getting used to everything having a place when you live in small quarters.
For the weekend we have some down time and will spend the day at a park tomorrow with our new SEND family and then on Sunday we are spending the day with old friends from Adrian.
And yes, we still own a house.
