Hello again long lost friend....

        Wow...It's been nearly 5 years since I sat in this space to write. Returning here feels like the embrace of a long lost friend. My very first blog post was 8 years ago. We sat on the edge of our seats in excitement for an out of the box adventure where we moved our family of 4 to NYC and later Sao Paulo, Brazil for Aaron's pursuit of a graduate degree. This blog holds so many memories, so many stories of God's faithfulness, so much joy in the beautiful hard! It's time to come back....so hello again dear friend!
        Today we sit once again on the edge of a great adventure. We've grown from a family of four to a family of six! Evelina and Nicholas, though very absent in this space, have filled our home with a loving laughter and treasured times. I assure you that stories of those two will quickly make up for lost time on this blog.

         Our adventure this time is to a familiar country yet a new location. We will be living in Atibaia, Brazil just outside Sao Paulo (where we last resided for Aaron's grad school). We are absolutely thrilled about this adventure. The kids cannot wait to get on that plane and have their personal TVs!!! Aaron and I are in awe of the Lord's hand on our life. We are honored that the Lord opened an opportunity to return to a land and to people we love so deeply. We know the Lord is at work in huge ways in Brazil. We count it a privilege to be able to join the Lord in that.

"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."

John 15:15

Jesus has made His business known to us. That is reason for celebration! It's also stirred my heart to write again of His wonderful work unfolding before our lives. So here's to documenting yet another amazing adventure. 

It's good to be with you again sweet friend!
