We made it through our travel day! All of our flights were smooth with only minimal delays. We arrived in Omaha about 10:45 pm Thursday night. The kids did a good job on the planes and waiting in the airports for all of our flights. Praise God!

We are now trying to adjust back to things here at home. There is a lot of laundry to wash and unpacking to do. We thank you for all of your prayers while we were in Costa Rica. Thank you also for continuing to pray for our hearts as we work through the many changes being in Omaha. The enemy wants to steal what God has done in us this past month and we are fighting to hold onto Him.

The Lord was so good to us. He did many beautiful things in our hearts during our time in Costa Rica. We are richly blessed and our cup overflows. There are good things about being back home, abundant hot water and flushable toilet paper are near the top of the list. Yet, it is hard to be back, our hearts are changed and so many things feel different now. The verse the Lord gave me this morning was Psalm 62:5a “My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him”. Our prayer is that He will show us how to silently submit to Him and hold onto the new things He has done.

On the baby front, Kris and I went to her ultrasound Friday afternoon. Everything went well, the baby is healthy and there are no problems. We thank God for watching over our family, especially this new little child. We were able to get a good picture of the baby and we found out that God has given us a new baby …….

We look forward to talking with all of you about our trip and what God is doing in Costa Rica. We might even tell you if we are having a boy or a girl 🙂
