The last three months have been very hard on our family. Nine weeks of online classes meant a lot of added stress for Liam (as Director and Bible teacher), Jessica (as K-12 Art Teacher), our kids (some of whom required a lot more parental help than others), and all of us (yes, there is such a thing as too much family time!).
We had plans to visit with many of you this summer, and were really looking forward to summer travels, especially this year! Unfortunately, our flights were cancelled 8 times on 3 different airlines (not an exaggeration), and we finally gave up on trying to reschedule them after the latest news that all commercial flights to Nicaragua are cancelled through the end of July.
We are still grieving the loss of so many of our hopes and plans for this year. We know that many of you have experienced great loss as well. Times like this make us think of Paul's words in Romans 8:22, where he says, "We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time." It is a reminder to all of us to store up our treasures in heaven and place our hope in what is eternal, not what is temporary.
