Waiting.

It has been almost a month since we got back from our trip to Nicaragua and I don't think time has ever felt slower. 

That was such a dangerous trip for our family, we had never spent that much time in Nicaragua at once. I loved every second of that trip and dreaded coming back to Costa Rica. We all got to experience new things on this trip, whether it was my mom driving for the first time since December, my dad getting to explore the country on a motorcycle or me getting to ride on the back of a motorcycle through the city. We got to see so much of the country and the people that have stolen our hearts. 

This next week marks two big things for us

1. The start the fourth week of our second trimester 

2. The 30th of this month marks five months of us living here. 

To say this has been the longest/ fastest five months of my life would be an understatement. It is such a weird thing. In my mind I know the time is going by quickly, but in my heart it feels as if each day is getting longer. 

There are so many reasons why I desire to be in Nicaragua right now because if it were up to me we would have moved yesterday. I know there is so much wisdom in being here in Costa Rica at this time, but that doesn't make it any easier. It's almost as if I can reach out and touch what I have been waiting so long for, but it's just out of my reach. 

                    ~ prayer request ~

Pray that I am able to spend the rest of my time here learning Spanish and making the best out the 7 months I have left in this country. I know if I dwell on the sadness and desire to be in Nicaragua it won't help me at all, pray for a calm and content heart.

Good news!! Thirteen days from today we go back to Nicaragua for another ten day trip. This will be a working trip and not as much of a vacation type trip like our trip last month. On this trip we will be working in a part of the country that we have never seen before, meeting people that we have not met before. This will be a very exciting trip and a trip that I hope never ends. 

The way our time had fallen, we might not be able to go back to Nicaragua until we move in mid December/ early January. Thankfully there are a few awesome things mixed into the time in between, so that will make the last 7 months fly by!! (Which is good)

Thank you so much for reading!

Please continue to pray for myself and my family as we are all feeling restless being here, in Costa Rica. No joke, if we could, we would be moving so much sooner than December, but sadly we can't.
