Home...

Matt and our Romania team returned late Sunday night to the welcoming arms of family and friends anxiously awaiting to bear hug the person they had missed so much over the past ten days.  I was right there with them...butterflies and all.  From my experience, returning home from a mission trip is, for lack of a better word, bittersweet.  You long to see your loved ones and share with them all that has happened; however, in all reality, words will never be enough to share your experience, so often, you remain speechless....this was the case with our Seniors that night.  I could see the tears that were being held back, not from being homesick, but from the relationships they left behind in the mountains of Romania.  I'm not even going to attempt to share what they experienced....please take a moment and read Matt's post on the trip.   I do have to echo what he said in regards to our Seniors.  We have been blessed to be their Sunday School teachers and, as they prepare to leave within the next few weeks, they need to be commended for serving Christ and not themselves, for being available and for stepping out of their comfort zones...in Romania and here in Davidson County.  These students will do great things...God-size things...we love you all!
