homesick


here i sit in washington d.c. enjoying one of the first sunny days here in the states. spring is coming and warm weather will be here soon. although i know it is only getting colder in the southern hemisphere and new zealand winter is not at all my fav. i am finding myself searching through facebook today for a glimpse of what is going on there. i miss our life there. our friends and our friends that have become family. it has been over a year since we were there. what will it be like to return, everyone has changed. some are married now some are grown up. we left babies behind and now they are children running and playing and not remembering the bowlin's all that well i am sure.
what does God have in store for us? when will we get to return? where is this new baby bowlin going to be born? what will our families here think/feel when we go? how do we continue to wait in faith?
all i know is that God is faithful and His timing is in our best interest. so there are the thoughts of homesick becca today. waiting for warm weather, baby #3, and our return to nz!!!!!

Aw Becca
This made me cry....You guys are so wonderful and I constantly stand in awe of your commitment to the cause. I dont know if I could do what you do. I wish I could be there to give you a big hug and tell you that all will be well...but all I can do is give you a virtual hug and keep praying for you! (way to feel helpless!)
You are looking beautiful and healthy and I cant wait to see you again. But this time isnt wasted and as cliche as it sounds, God's timing is perfect. Keep smiling sweet Becca.
Much love xoxox
