Don't Cry For Me, Argentina



Just in case you haven't seen my new nephew, I wanted to post some pictures here. They are on flickr, too. His name is Levi Joseph Stanley. Named after his favorite uncle on his mom's side. (my name is Micah Levi). He reminds me of a dark-haired, dark-skinned version of Anthony. In one of the pictures it looks like he is trying to hit a high note. He did hit it, by the way. I learned his name as I was taking these pictures in the nursery as he was minutes old. My camera fogged up momentarily.


You can pray for me, just don't cry for me, Argentina. The worst of the sickness has passed. Today is the first day that we are to return to work. Please pray that we both do our jobs excellently. This year will hold greater challenges for me. I want to do the best job that I can.

Sick

Unfortunately, Micah has been ill pretty much since we got back. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much for your faithful friendship and prayers. ~Sarah

Home Is Where You Hang Your Hat

We've made it safely to our second home. Last year, I was afraid to call Suwon home, but God has made it like another home to us. We may have less family here physically, but it is still better to come back to a place that feels like home. Otherwise, it could begin to feel like a prison and I don't believe God wants us to feel like prisoners. I'm writing just a couple of hours after landing, so I hope I make sense. Don't despise the place in which God has you. You'll miss so many opportunities if you do. Like Trudy Kim says, "Bloom where you're planted."
Thank you God for making our trip home such a wonderful experience. Thank you everyone for welcoming us home with such love and enthusiasm. We love you all and miss you already.

~Micah & Sarah
