Now that we’ve been in our building (the yellowish one on the left) for a few days, its time to find the new rhythm of life.
Perhaps I’m a little to philosophical at this point in the move — having upset the rhythm of life in Richmond VA to relocate not only to a different house, but to a different country, different city, different worldview, and different way of life.
We’ll setup a new rhythm here as we step into what God has called us to. We’re not the first to experience this, and we won’t be the last. But life will resume a sense of normalcy in a while.
Our posessions will arrive about 2 weeks from now.
We live in a vacant apartment furnished only with appliances and beds. We thought that’s all we needed.

How do you boil water without a tea pot?
How do you drink tea without a cup?
How do you cook hot dogs without a skillet?
How do you dice an onion without a knife?
How do you sit to eat without table and chairs?
How do you actually eat without utensils?
There are lots of little details to life — skillets, teapots, and knives. We forgot to pack a little of these things to hold us over till our container arrives. Oops.
The grief of leaving has now passed.
We’ve got new challenges in front of us. New nieghborhoods to explore. New things to figure out. A new life to start over.

Hi Chris…
On the road visiting Mom but thought I’d connect briefly. Glad you arrived safe and sound. Praying for you as you settle in. Will continue reading but write more when I get back to Arkadelphia. Please pray for my time here. Love, Lindsay
