Well, we are home! We arrived late last night after 23 hours of straight travel with about 2 hours of sleep. First answered prayer, Isaac did amazing the whole time!! He adjusted almost instantly to the time change and was a little trooper being out for 8-10 hours straight most days. We knew that God was giving us grace and covering Isaac so well.
It's hard to know where to start so I'll just say, our time in Brussels was significant in many levels. We were able to meet with a NGO one day, a church-planter the next, have dinner with another ministry partner and coffee with yet another, we looked at apartments, talked to people in neighborhoods, walked the rough parts of the city and prayed in the streets, visited major historical sites to learn more about the strongholds of the city and did I mention pray, pray, pray!! Yes, this trip was packed full.
We were shocked and amazed again at just how diverse the city really is. It's like no other place I've ever been.
Since I'm still jet lagging a bit I'll stop there for now but I will write more details soon.
Prayer Request and Praise: Also, while we were gone, my mom who was watching our kids had to leave suddenly because my dad put in the hospital with a bad leg infection. He's been in the hospital ever since. The praise is that our friends rallied around us and took care of our kids for us until we got back! Thank you Jenna, Cindy, Rosie and Ashley-you are all such a blessing-thanks for standing in the gap while we were away!
Holy smokes! You've been to Europe and back! I didn't even know about your trip. How in the world did I miss that? And how did the little man do?
