My mommy heart completely understands! Hunter has also struggled with our move and readily admits he doesn't like our new city. I do believe it is culture shock,as you said. We'll pray our boys through this together and always trust that God didn't bring any of us here just to let our children fall...there is strength that will grow from hardship!

It can be easy to get so focused on "doing" ministry that the family ministry can suffer. Love how you and Mike broke him out of school.

Tell him I had those same feelings about my overseas home and that's completely normal. Things rarely turn out the way we imagine they will, but it's comforting to know that God understands our feelings. He also has a wonderful purpose and plan for Jackson in Brazil.Dustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16651598768190201189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269167852547567018.post-15085413736765251602010-03-16T19:59:21.577-03:002010-03-16T19:59:21.577-03:00What a fabulous idea!
