three months

... and we look nothing alike.

except for when he does this:

filled to be emptied

here we are.

and i absolutely love it here.

thought we'd stay for 3 months.

3 actually turned into 12.

12 until we head back to the other side of the world.

which feels like forever away from home.

[which is why He is allowing time to grow my desire.

and time to grow scott's patience.]

even since the very first day of arriving "home", i've thought ...

wow, father. i've never experienced the richness of your kindness like this.

AND

ever since then, i've heard Him telling me that the very purpose of being filled in this season is to be emptied in the next.
