My Mama's Heart

My Mama's heart is beginning to ache. In a very few short weeks my big girls are going away on mission adventures. Wiggles is going to Hondorus with Teen Missions International where she will be reaching out to the people in rural areas. Jelly Beans is travelling to Taiwan to spend time with at risk youth showing them God's love and encouraging them. I am so excited for both my girls and know they will be in God's hands.

But my Mama's heart aches for our younger kids, they find it so hard when Papa Bear goes away for work and he is only gone for two weeks. Jelly Beans will be gone for three weeks and Wiggles for eight. The younger kids will miss them, especially Princess and Treasure.

It will be very hard for the younger kids to believe the girls are coming back. Hard for them to believe that the big girls are a precious part of our family and they have not been discarded. Hard for them to believe that the younger kids are very special to the girls, they love them deeply and will miss them immensely. Hard for them to believe that the lack of contact is because of the restraints of the trip not because the girls don't care.

I wrote this and never managed to fit in getting it published... Wiggles has been gone almost a week now and Jelly Beans leaves in just a few days. Papa Bear and Kiwi Boy are right now at a inter-provincial swim meet. (Kiwi Boy is doing very well!) They get back one day before Jelly Beans goes away for her trip. This place feels like Grand Central Station!!!

Please continue to pray for all our children no matter where they are located in the world. This summer is one giant adventure for our whole family!
