that's usually the reply when someone finds out about our family's pending move to the Middle East :) we know that recent events have dominated headlines, but we've not recently experienced this call.
we were first asked to pray about this opportunity at the end of 2009. 2010 was a time of evaluation of our family, and we were affirmed in this call just prior to all these current events.
but even now, we are not dismayed or discouraged by what we are seeing. in fact, we're all the more excited! not that we want to be in the middle of revolution, but for being a part of what the Lord may do in the future. in explaining this in more detail with others, we came across a little video from CNN that provides good preparation for that discussion--embedding this video has been disabled, so you'll have to follow this link, Explain it to me: Mideast/African unrest
so the next time you see us, ask us how we see God working through these events...
