Thoughts from Day #44: Ive been dreading this day since the day I bought our plane tickets to travel to Colombia. James is leaving today. We are hopeful that I will be following him home soon. I know that the end is in sight...yet somehow I think some ugly crying might happen today. James has done an amazing job of taking care of our family down here. As we have been shifting his responsibilities to me, it makes me realize all he has done to help our time in Colombia be as comfortable as it has been. I married an amazing man. After our outing last Sunday, it took Luis nearly all week to get back to a relaxed state. We have been staying pretty close to the apartment, only going to places that are within walking distance and arent super busy. One of Luis signs of anxiety is grinding his teeth. After we put him to bed last night, we realized that yesterday was the first day Luis didnt grind his teeth AT ALL. Slowly but surely he is gaining security with us. Every day he is learning he really can trust us. Every day hes reminded we are here for him. Last night I was thinking about how much I have depended on James. I was thinking of how different our days are going to be now that my little family is going to be relying solely on me now. While Im certainly not looking forward to the days that lie ahead, I knew God was telling me that I could find my security in HIM. He reminded me that this entire trip has been a testimony of the fact we can trust Him. That He isnt going anywhere. It gave me a whole new respect for the trust Luis is learning to have. We would be so grateful for prayers of safety for James as he travels home today...prayers for strength and encouragement for me as I begin new adventures in Colombia sans James. Love to each of you. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15 NLT
