Mama's Visit

One question I am most frequently asked is, "How do your parents feel about you living overseas?," and I am so blessed to be able to respond that they support me 100%. Being physically distant definitely has its challenges and comes with much sacrifice, but  Mama often says, "I'd rather have you overseas right in the middle of God's will than in the same county but not following the Lord!"

After almost 6 months of separation, she and I were fortunate to get to spend some much needed time together this past week. She came to visit February 9th-19th, and there aren't enough words in English or Spanish to describe how special it was to give her a little glimpse of my life here.

The majority of the pictures from her trip are on her camera and, regretfully, I forgot to transfer them to my computer before she left. I did, however, manage to snap a few with my phone, so I thought I could give you all a little look into our time together. Enjoy!

The fancy windchime she made with items she found on the beach


And just like *that,* her trip was over and is now just a wonderful memory. If you see her, I'm sure she'll tell you lots of stories and show you even more pictures. BUT! Be careful...she just might convince you to come down and visit too :)
