It’s been a long time since I’ve updated this blog. A lot has changed, a lot is changing, and I have lots more to say.
For now, as a bit of a teaser I’ll just post a very short update on the J family. The winds of 2019 are bringing several new ships to our port. After years of waiting and hoping and praying, we now expect our second child to arrive any day now. As soon as she comes (yes, a couple ultrasounds have confirmed we are expecting another girl), we will be planning several trips to visit friends in Edmonton, SK and BC.
The reason for those trips is another long-time dream come true: we are raising support for Wycliffe Bible Translators. Ever since high school I have had a burning desire to be involved in Bible translation. I know what it is like to read the Bible in a language I know well, but isn’t my heart language. I know the difference it makes to hear it in my heart language, and I want everyone to be able to experience that. This is the desire that brought my husband and I together. This is what we trained for and have prayed for. OCD, anxiety and depression put the dream on hold for a time, but no more.
I am so, so grateful for the healing I’ve had. I’ve been planning a series on recovery for a long time, and now finally feel somewhat qualified to go ahead with it, so you can look forward to that, as well as probably to some posts about life in the waiting, as the last few years have been, and what it’s like to finally now be moving on…. And of course, baby.
Thanks so much for reading. Thanks for being part of my journey.
Love, J
