Back in Manila after a great Christmas in North Carolina. Battling homesickness and the mystery illness that has had me dealing with some dizziness and vision issues for many months now. Doctors in the U.S. haven't had real answers, and neither have doctors here. I am left confused, tired, fragile and wishing for clarity, and in the middle of that, we have had to decide whether to stay or whether to go.
There are times when you really don't want to have to decide, but we had to. So we decided to do what we felt like God wanted us to do on brighter days. Sometimes you're obedient when you're really not feeling like being obedient.
We're staying in Manila until July 2020. May we be blessed and be a blessing where He has planted us for now.
We walked the American Cemetery this breezy winter afternoon, and as we exited, the guard said, "You are always welcome here." I wanted to cry. This cemetery is America, and it is not. We have one foot in each world, and we are welcome in both. But that only makes is harder sometimes to figure out where we should be.
So much to appreciate in both places. He is in charge, and we are excited to see what He'll do in our remaining time here.
