It just hit me what a busy month we have had! It started in Virginia, with a wedding and meeting distant relatives for the first time. Then we had two big barbecues at the house, on the new patio. We had the brick work pointed on the house, and then Scott fractured a vertebrae in his back! We headed to Florida for 5 days, and were swept up in the love and acceptance of the Moebius community before heading back home and wrapping the month with the Swim Team banquet last night!
The kids swam in 4 swim meets, had a great time and Emma also won the Coaches Award for her age bracket, for showing perseverance, good attitude, helpfulness and flexibility.
August appears as though it will be a quiet month, while Scott heals and we get some rest before the new school year is upon us.
Time is moving so fast and it's bittersweet to see the kids growing up and having so many wonderful experiences. Each step a step away from our tight family bond.
But that's the greatest challenge of parenting, recognizing that these little humans don't belong to us, and are merely entrusted to our care for a short (but crucial) period of time. What the future holds is not our to know, but we pray, trust, and hope that they have what they need to succeed in the plans God has for them!

Hello sister Deb. I am a Pastor from Mumbai, India. I am glad to stop by your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am also blessed and feel privileged and honoured to get connected with you as well as know about you and your husband and two daughters. It was blessing to go through your story of hope for July. It is a very encouraging narrative. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged, strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 39 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We wold love to have young people from your church to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. I am sure they will have a life changing experience. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede
