I almost feel the need to reintroduce myself since it's been so long since I've actually written! ;) It's rather overwhelming trying to gather all my thoughts and feelings and produce them for others to read. I'll admit that I'm not the best at this blogging thing but for those of you that really want to know what's going on with the4cokes, I keep writing. I'm positive I'll have numerous hysterical moments in South Asia as I learn a new culture and I plan to share those as the time comes.
For now, I'll share some of the every day life that is going on here.

This is a picture of Gina "GiGi"
with 2 of her loves: Avery & Kam
taken last week! |
Thanks to my amazing friend & pastor's wife, Gina, demanding that I be in worship as much as possible, I was so incredibly blessed, challenged, & convicted this past Sunday as I was reminded of walls that I once built that kept me from sacrificing everything for God. I took notes like crazy since I'm well aware that the dynamic preaching I sit under now will be dearly missed when I leave. I believe Gina said I have 11 weeks of worship left! What??? That doesn't seem possible. But, I was also reminded to be obedient with JOY! And joy is what I want to exhibit. I'm ecstatic about the next stage of our life, while I'm also devastated to be leaving the people and home I love. It's a wild mix of emotions but it's a sense of peace of contentment that I can't explain.
Today was abnormal in that it was normal. Normal is a word that has far left our vocabulary. Our lifestyle has always been wild and we love it, but it's been wilder than ever these past few months. Again, filled with fun stuff, but filled nonetheless. We truly wouldn't have it any other way because we want nothing more than to spend these last few months with the people who want to spend it with us. But, today, we had no plans and so we stayed HOME! (We even overslept and took Kiley to school an hour and a half late!) It was fabulous!

Kamden took me on a hike today
to the library. She led the way! |
I spent the day with Kamden, and for a change, didn't do a drop of anything except spend time doing what she wanted to do!!! We acted out the children's play twice, played Ships 'n' Sails, and played kitchen among other things. She kept me in stitches! We had a blast!!! It was much needed one on one time with my baby girl.
And this evening we got to hang out as a fam in the yard while Kiley learned some new stunts with Daddy. The most surprising part of the day is that the girls will actually get into bed only an hour past bedtime! Now, that's impressive around here!
For those of you who are looking for ways that you can continue praying specifically for us, a friend sent me a link of how to pray for moms who are overseas. I'll be the first to say that I'll be in need of major prayer warriors for me and my children, so check it out if you want!
