Our family has been travelling to Guatemala since 2003. The first time, Don and I went without the kids to determine if it was a place that we would want to bring them in the future (and to celebrate our 10th anniversary!!). Since that time, we have made about 9 trips of varying time lengths as a family. When we return, there always seems to be one person who asks about our trip but then adds a comment like "nothing new for you guys" or "must be pretty routine for your family." It just makes us chuckle!
The Lord is very creative and, I think, He has an awesome sense of humor. Every trip that we have gone on has looked different. He is always stretching and challenging us in ways that, quite honestly, are not always very fun. So when someone says, "same old, same old", we just chuckle.
Well . . .surprise, surprise . . . our next trip is going to be something entirely brand new . . . again!! We are in the planning and preparation phase for a trip that will take place in January 2014. This phase includes a trip to Arkansas. Didn't see that coming? Neither did we. . . . I told you, the Lord is creative! ;)
"Then He who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.'" Revelation 21:5
