We have been told that folks at home are hanging on our words and anxious to get updates on the blog and on social sites like Facebook. Please believe me when I tell you that your words to us are just as precious!
There are 13 people sharing a single computer with a very slow connection. Taking 15 minute turns means that we might each be able to check in just once or twice a day. Having words of encouragement waiting for us gives us such a lift!
We are not "suffering" physically except for an occasional headache or stomach bug. The waiting and the inability to change our circumstances conflicts with our typical desire to control our own lives; when we will eat, when we will work, what we will do, who we will communicate with, where were will go, what we will spend. All of these things are beyond our control now. I will not claim to have mastered this yet, but I am choosing to view this time as a gift and to fill it with things that I never have TIME to do -- read, study the Bible, have deep conversations, maybe even write something.
These are just temporary circumstances, but please don't tire of writing to us. It means a lot.
