October so far

October so far has passed in a flurry of activity.  It started with the Parents' Day program to honor all the houseparents and the other Indian staff members.  It went smoothly and was a lot of fun.  The kids had a lot of holidays the first few weeks of October, and the family time was taken advantage of.  There was a kickball tournament, a Star Wars marathon, family games, a trip to a beautiful botanical gardens, and lots more.  This week things have settled down with all the kids back in school.  But I'm not expecting things to stay settled for long.  We're going to a program the little kids' school is putting on for Annual Day tomorrow, then starting Friday they have more holidays.

As the halfway point in my trip has come, I'm getting a little homesick, missing my family and friends a lot.  I'm continuing to learn how to turn to Jesus as my closest friend and fellowship.  The Lord is doing a work of healing and freedom in my life, and I know it, but lately it's been kind of hard to see.  I know I'm being called to persevere and that the fruit will come in time.  I guess I'm learning patience at the same time :).
