Although it appears we are living in a refugee camp somewhere, we were warm, clothed and well-fed when we took this picture. In that context, living in a refugee camp is nearly unimaginable to me. In reading John Weaver's Inside Afghanistan, he talks about all the thousands of people - familes - who flee with nothing but the clothes on their bodies - from the Taliban even prior to 9-11. It's almost like God prepared this American exactly for what the Afghani people would need in someone who could help them with all they needed to survive the heat and cold while they were on the run. How thankful I am for a warm house and a furnace, not just a tent and a fire, even when the wind blows outside and the draft seeps in.

i think that all the time! we chose to keep our rented condo instead of buying a house, in the face of MANY well-meaning comments from people who thought it was about time we got a big house.
we followed God's leading and didn't.
a. we are able to freely pick up and move to sioux falls in a matter of weeks.
b. whenever our 1500 sq ft, packed-in rental felt a little small to me, i remembered that there are women living in huts with FAR more children than me, and they are thankful for that hut. so, i can be overjoyed for mine!
