Sandra’s Last Month
I have some bittersweet news. In June, Sandra will be going back to live with her mom in California.
Her mom has been thinking very seriously about this for a long time now, and she is determined to make a new start with Sandra. She is as committed as we’ve ever seen her, which is good.
Sandra, obviously, has mixed feelings about it. She gets to go back to the US, go to public school again, and be with her mom, but she has to leave Chiang Mai which has been her home for over 3 years.
We also have mixed feelings about it, but all of us (Sandra’s mom included) want what’s best for her. And in the end, she is her mom. When Sandra first arrived, we always said it would be best for them to be together. So long as her mom is committed to her, I think that’s still probably true.
At the same time, it’s hard to let go of someone you love and have been parenting for three years. You want to know everything’s going to be okay.
But who ever knows that?
You know that we are praying for all of you, as you make this transition. Sandra will always be our grandaughter.
Amen mommy.
Sandra has come a long way with you…you’ve planted seeds and even begun to see them grow. I’m sure God would say, “well done good and faithful servant.” And I’m sure he will now put you in charge of more than you could imagine. I will be praying for the transition and years to come.
Amen, Lucinda, on your comment “He will now put you in charge of more than you could imagine”. Will be interesting to see where God goes from here.
Wow things have really changed….I look wayyy different.
Hello there! My name is Sarah Beth and I’m an MK in Peru! I came across your blog today and I was wondering if it would be ok with you if I added your blog to my blog. See, I have a blog for MKs and I’m added other missionaries blogs that way other ppl can see what God is doing in your field through your ministry.
