Stateside

Published by under Family Stuff

Although we have been back in the states for about a month, we haven’t posted too much on here. I just assumed that this was mostly for people “back home” and so being “back home”, I thought it wouldn’t be necessary to write. But as I was looking at some of our friends blog sites, I realized how good it was to see what we are all up to, and what God is doing in other parts of the world, regardless where. So we just wanted to update everyone on what is going on with the Myers tribe.

We arrived in Los Angeles late May and got to spend about 3 weeks with Bee’s parents and family. It was a good time of seeing the grandparents, going to the park and the aquarium and painting the outside of Bee’s parents’ house.

We then traveled up north to Alaska where we have been for almost 2 weeks. This has been a good time of seeing family, and also visiting our sending church, Kenai Christian Church, Dane’s church since he was wearing diapers (which was when he was a baby, for all of you who were making some sort of joke there).

We have been blessed to see family and friends and just realize that we serve a God who is everywhere. Things don’t change just because we are in our own beds, or eating familiar food. God still calls us and wants us to live radical lives for him, something that is easily side-stepped when you are sitting on a comfortable couch, eating home cooked meals.

But the choice is up to us. Jesus, although in the form of God, came down and lived among us, away from the comforts of what he knew. We are strangers anywhere on earth, whether it be a place where you can’t speak the language, or your own “hometown”.

We will keep you posted on our plans as far as when we are heading back out to Asia. But for now, enjoy the Lord, wherever you are.
