So it all began one March afternoon with an evening text message from my husband..."Need to talk to you about a job in the UK." My first thought....is he insane? And so began a very emotional few weeks as we grappled with this decision. Here we are, in my view, one of the most blessed families on the planet. We have a wonderful marriage, 3 beautiful children. We love our life here, our family nearby, our church, our home, our schools. I've recently found a role in the community that is fulfilling and rewarding. Why change?
It all came down to the fact that this is an opportunity that so few are given. It is so outside of our comfort zone, so scary, so unknown. But what an adventure it will be. We will all experience a different life and see parts of the world that I had assumed I wouldn't see for decades. And it's temporary. Two years. Two years that will fly by. And when in the midst of our decision, a friend reminded me that "no matter where we are on the planet, God is still holding us in the palm of His hand." I can't help but think that there is a reason that we are being given this opportunity. I can't wait for God to reveal it to us.
