being beautifully overwhelmed

In the last few days I have been so beautifully overwhelmed. All these blessings keep piling up, one on top of the other, and my heart seems to be spilling over contentment. 

i'm certainly not always in a season like this, so for now, i'm soaking it up and thanking Abba. 

nepal has been a time of sweet healing, and I'm watching God pour his balm into my heart and give me so many of my hearts desires. 

as you know, we currently live in Nepal. this fact alone has showed God's faithfulness in answering our prayer to live and serve abroad before we have kids. We love how free and adventurous we can be, taking off at a moments notice to explore this mysterious place. 

we also love that our marriage is a team, as we work together to love and serve the girls in the aftercare home. watching my husband redeem these precious girl's view of men has filled me with adoration I cannot explain. 

and many of you know that just recently we found out that God provided us a way to go to Europe for 2 weeks this summer to go to a wedding of our dear exchange student sister Aline. Seriously, He mysteriously lowered the airline points we needed on our credit card to get a free trip. during peak travel season. what.the.heck. Not to mention we will get to travel around with my family through france, belgium and holland. 

and lastly, one of my dearest friends and her husband flew half way across the world to spend 3 weeks with us. they are here now, and it's been so so fun to have them here with us, laughing and seeing our "world" as we know it now!! 

so i am overwhelmed.

but in the very best way. 

have a great weekend friends! 

we are off to Chitwan national park to bathe with elephants and do an animal safari! woo hoo! 

love Katie
