The sights, the noises, the smells

One day last week our friend Esther from the Middle East visited us. She has been in missions in the 10/40 window for 14 years now and has the sweetest heart for the people in our region. It is easy to see how God can use her as he does. We pray God will continue to do a might work through Esther and that the right doors will open for her next season of missions. She also invited us to visit and spend some time in the area. Derek and I met and fell in love in the Middle East so it is so hard for us to know if our calling to the area is still so much alive in our hearts or if we just love the city so much because of what God did in our own lives there. For those of you who have visited the region, you probably feel as we do. The smell of spices in the air and the noise of the people rushing around and the colors everywhere!! Oh, it makes me homesick for the City!!! There is just something about it all that makes you want to go back.
