June 19, 2010 found us packed into a Budget 24' moving truck and on the road to Michigan. Goodbyes really stink. Goodbye to our dog, Shakespeare. He got a really great family, a fire hydrant in his new yard, the same neighborhood and a dog sister. Tears and goodbyes to struggling refugee families; the best job I've ever had; four Iraqi sisters living in America whose story still gives me chills.
Goodbye to friends whose company was easy, comfortable and fun.
Thanks to God for all the bittersweet goodbyes. Divine appointments of relationship and circumstance I will never forget and will treasure as God's care for His child.
Our family will be moving to Muscat, Oman on August 11. I'll start a new, yet unnamed, blog soon in hopes of sharing another part of the world with our friends and family.
