In Haiti, we have learned that lifestyle here is VERY different from the Northeast U.S. It is hard not feeling guilty when you come to a place that functions MUCH slower than what we are used to. God knew what He was doing (duh!) when He placed us here! Loving more time with Him, with my kids and in community. It is so healthy for us to slow down and to be still! Love and miss you lots. Looking forward to our coffee and skype date soon :)Phil, Emily, Ethan and Hayliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310002889100636951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253767847584012736.post-68261219614417511372013-09-30T14:10:05.243-04:002013-09-30T14:10:05.243-04:00I'm glad you are finally starting to feel bett...I'm glad you are finally starting to feel better!!

Let Him woo you in these days of recovery. Not a moment will be wasted. And if I can recommend a book? Margin, by Richard Swenson. It's so helpful!

First pumpkin spice cap was very yummy, can't lie. I can bring you one if you want. Went to the Pumpkin Carve last night and hoping to get apple picking shortly. Glad to hear you are improving and sounds like this down time may have been just what you needed (but didn't want).
