Look what I saw on my iPhone today. There’s a new paper chain in town…well, it’s not in my town since it’s about 7,000 miles away at present. Everyday, Caleb’s taking a link off just like he did here when he was counting down to when he would return home to China. But, this time, he’s counting down to something else.
Us.
Two weeks from today, I’m going back. This time, I’m not leading a team; I’m just a team member under the leadership of my favorite leader in the world who I happen to be married to. And, as if that’s not sweet enough of a deal, Ashlyn’s serving beside me.
Helen…Caleb…Baby Grace…serving with a team at a university…with my husband…and my daughter…and tagging on a little side trip to take her to the orphanage where I’ll be serving again next time I’m in China and where her little sister was cared for until she was ours.
Oh boy. I’m pumped.
We may need our own paper chain.
