Ahhhh!
This is surreal. I cannot believe that there are only 3 more weeks remaining in our school year.
This year has been a whirlwind of busyness. Somehow in the midst of everything, God gave us the grace and sanity we needed to get through all the different challenges we faced. And now we are at the bittersweet time of the year when we must say goodbye to our students and see them off.
Much has happened the last few months. For one, we finally shared with our classes that we were going to leave CAIS to go to Taiwan to serve next year. Our classes took it really well. When Michelle had the students pray for her after she had shared the news, one particular girl prayed, "God, I pray that Mr. and Mrs. Lam would not offend the culture in Taiwan and that they would be a blessing to others." What a powerful prayer from a nine year old! May that prayer be true of our lives - that we would be servants who are sensitive, who walk with others to bless them. That is our greatest desire for the next six months.
To be honest, as our time to leave draws near, the realization hasn't set on us how big of a change this year will be. We are excited, but really hope to find the time to settle down and still our hearts in preparation for this year. But in the meantime, there are still lots of people to say goodbye to, report cards to finish up, and a classroom of rambunctious kids to lead into the summer.
Do pray for us when you remember. We could very much use your support!
