Our family is now home from our trip to the Philippines... our first ever missions immersion trip! We have so much to digest, to process, to reconcile (#917)... through it all, we have indeed seen that our God is truly good (#918), that Christ is truly all that matters (#919).
As our family start this journey of digesting, processing and reconciling all that we have seen and experienced, I continue to count grace-gifts... even more in awe of the greatness of our Sovereign God!
Grace-gifts #920 - #945... with a heart forever grateful!
~ Lunch with my parents at my childhood home.
~ Visiting Tacloban, where hubby spent most of his childhood summers.
~ Meeting many relatives there... most for the very first time.
~ Fun times... freaking out over lizards (again!} in our hotel room!
~ Historical sights of Tacloban.
