I am reminded daily why Will and I decided a few years ago to spend our summers abroad,
to flee our comfortable home,
to meet, love and serve others.
These summers are not just vacations for our family.
They have become a core value of ours.
A family mission statement.
Our time in Panama was not easy. It was not peaceful. It was highlighted by amazing experiences but living life on the island with 4 boys was not easy, comfortable or even safe.
But I would do it again:
Here my boys expect Chickfila everyday.
They expect 10$ bills handed to them everytime they go somewhere.
The pull of friends is endless for each of them...times 4...
Video and television win over talking and reading every time.
Im bored is said constantly.
the sugar, coke addiction is back in full swing- I cant even restrain when it is so easily accessible.
Not one of these issues was even a thought in Panama.
