We landed, and hit the ground running!
First stop, the dock, to get our boxes and vehicle! Then as we arrive to our new house we meet the landlords,see our little cottage, and are blessed with YWAMers who come to help unload our stuff in 10 minutes flat! What a blessing!!
We had been packing, tying up loose ends, and Bryan worked until the morning we left and so we were exhausted. We ate dinner with friends and took a much needed break.
Saturday we met friends at Laniopoko beach and just took in the fact that we were back on Maui. Kieva surfed all day and cried when it was time to leave 5 hours later!
Our great day at the beach did end sadly as the miscarriage process began. Some of you know.. Many did not .. That we were shocked and surprised at the end of August to find ourselves pregnant. We were cautiously optimistic, but 6 weeks into the pregnancy there was no heart beat. We wept openly with friends and grieved the loss of this little person... And again reminded ourselves of the blessing of our son Kieva.
Sunday Kieva and I went to church and had lunch with friends. As we unpacked and got more settled in we learned that my stepfather would be having a stent put in his heart because of blocked arteries....
Monday I began my week of teaching at YWAM Maui on Recognizing God's Voice. The last 5 days have been full of teaching, praying for others, unpacking, paying bills and signing up for new ones!!,seeing old friends, making new ones, calling my mom to see how my step-dad was doing ( he is recovering at home) and walking through the loss of this baby. It's been sad, beautiful, peaceful, eventful, and most of all filled with the grace of God.
Tomorrow I will begin packing for Germany!
I agreed to teach in Herrnhut, Germany this summer way before I knew about the move! I am excited to see what The Lord has in store. But I am asking for prayer in this time.
We have a week and half of Kieva and Bryan being here on their own until my mom can come to help.
Originally she was coming this week but due to my stepdads health she had to stay home. Pray we find people to help so Bryan can begin working. Or that we receive enough support for him to stay home during that time. Will be posting again soon! Thank you to everyone of you that had helped monetarily, and physically in this move and in our settling in. We are so very blessed by you!!! And take none of you for granted.
