Yours

I was wondering how it would be....coming back to Doha. Did we really like it as much as we thought we did? Was the "honeymoon" over? Was it just fun because it was new and different?

I am happy to report, that we still like it here. The weather is wonderful right now, crisp and cool....but, not too cold. It feels like fall to me. The kids went back to school today and it was so good to see all the moms at the bus stop. Everyone was sharing about their holidays. One family went to Switzerland and Italy, two traveled to Sri Lanka, and one to Lebanon and Egypt. It made me think of this awesome song by Steven Curtis Chapman, "Yours".

Psalm 89:11 (New International Version)
The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.

This big ol' world belongs to God, even Doha, and our job is to make him known among the nations!
