The Nasty Four-Letter Word

Ok, so it's not really 4 letters.  In the life of a missionary, MK, TCK or cross-cultural worker, I can't think of much worse than TRANSITION!!  (that's the word)  We are in the throws of it right now and it is most definitely NOT my favorite part of this season.  I know that God is faithful.  I know that He has called us to Cameroon.  I know that He will not give me more than I can handle in one day.  BUT, it sure feels way worse.  I think that Gilles, Gaby and I have an advantage over the boys.  We are somewhat able to express the weirdness going on in our hearts.  For Josh and Sam, however, it's a challenge.  My heart breaks as their little hearts struggle and work to process all these odd feelings.  You think we'd get used to is - NOT! Man, I love these kids so much...they have been through so much transition already, so many times.  May God continue to give us all grace enough for each step of this transition.
