Almost six months in Brussels and for the first time I am feeling a sense of homesick. Not for a house, but for family and friends. I love Brussels, I am blessed everyday by the new people that God is bringing into my life. The tram rides, languages, chocolate! So many amazing new experiences. So what do I do with this pain in my heart? I think it is a valuable lesson in what we should be homesick for. This earth is not really our "home". As Christ followers, we know that a home awaits us that is infinitely more wonderful than our best day here on earth. I serve a God who created and provided a salvation to make it possible for us to be with Him forever. And that brings me back to why we are here. God called us to move to Brussels, to reach out to a people who don't even remember why they need God. I am motivated by a new desire, a new homesickness, one that will drive me to use this valuable time to get out and bring Him glory!

"Oh I'm running to your arms, I'm running to your arms.

The riches of Your love will always be enough

Nothing compares to Your embrace

Light of the world forever reign"

There it is, the parking place for our brand new meeting place! Six short and long months from the day Rob and Ryan stepped off the plane to start our life here in Brussels. LifePoint has grown leaps and bounds and far quicker than anyone expected. We continue to be grateful and encouraged by the movement of God here. The relationships that we are building are amazing, literally worldwide! I am amazed at the amount of languages spoken here. When I do finally have a grasp of french I am going to have to learn about 10 others just to keep up! Thank you for your prayers, your encouragement and your support. I have no idea what the next six months will hold but I can tell you this, I am excited to see what it is! God is good, praise Him!
