2015: After a unplanned trip to Paris for Christmas, we started a new year with a bang as our family hung out for the New Year under the worlds tallest building, the Burj Khalifa? A few weeks later I turned 40. Another week later we found ourselves layed over in Paris again waiting to fly to Atlanta for our final destination.
Much like Paris and the complete opposite of Dubai, the weather has been cold in Atlanta.
Goodbyes were as hard leaving from Al Ain as they originally were from Sharpsburg Georgia two years ago. Strong friendships tend to do that to us.
Our friends were from all over the world and we really never knew if we would be blessed to see those people again. We tried to be servants, generous, and true neighbors to everyone we encountered. We hope we left fingerprints of Christ in our little area of influence. We truly loved the people we taught, shared meals, played, swam, dune bashed, or just listened to.
A wise Proverbs told me: In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps
The beginning of 2015 leaves me still waiting on employment, a tight living arrangement, and temporary schooling for the kids. We came back with plenty of money to live on for a few months only to get hit with $5000 worth of bills after we arrived. We are not sitting around doing nothing waiting on everything, but we are certainly not making any big plans. God is good, faithful, and we are grateful. All I can conclude at this moment - it's been a rough week!
