The book Third Culture Kids talks about a life of uprootedness (living a highly mobile life that requires continually pulling up your “roots” and settling down in a new location). We began this process in our family as the “For Rent” sign was firmly planted in our front yard. We hope to have one-way tickets from Omaha to Delhi purchased by the end of this week and we realize that all of this transition is going to be hard. Not because we don’t want to go to India or because we don’t trust our calling, but because we’re human. We love our family and friends and we’ll miss them, we like Omaha (when it’s not blazing hot or totally freezing) and the familiarity of being “home”, and because it takes way more time, energy and emotion to pack up all our stuff and leave than we thought.
Noteables:
- · We continue to trust that our home will be rented to a family that needs a good place to land.
- · This is a big transition for our family (Hudson recently asked how we are going to move our house to India).
- · Please join us in celebrating Priya’s first hearing birthday November 5! Praise God for giving us the opportunity for her to have cochlear implants. Thanks to those of you who are praying for Priya.
