10 Years…

It seems like yesterday, Keith and I were going through the application process, contemplating where God would lead us and wondering what our future would look like.  We packed our life into suitcases, said good-bye to our family and landed in Russia on March 1, 2002.  Even though it took us more than a year to arrive in Russia, it only took me a matter of minutes to begin doubting what we had done!!!  Without reliving the many tears I have shed, Plan Bs I have contemplated, trials I have encountered and time I have prayed that God would give us a “normal” life, I have officially been a missionary for 10 years!!!  I rejoice in the work God is doing in my life and family and pray that I will serve Him faithfully for many more years!!!
