Mi Querida Familia: Leaving

January 7, 2010

Leaving

Leaving Costa Rica is never fun. Every time I come here, no matter how long we spend, regardless of how well we planned or how ragged we ran ourselves to do so much... I always leave feeling like I only did half the things I wanted to do.

This time in particular, there is one person, who I'd like to spend a lifetime getting to know. Pouring in to her. Ministering. Teaching. Mentoring. Be-friending. Loving.

But we only had a few days. Hopefully the time we spent gave her a glimpse of a Big God living in us and a Peace that she can trust to carry all things she can't.

Angie thank you for opening yourself as much as you did. I'm so excited to have you as my new sister-in-law. Love God. Love Gustavo. Love that little one inside you.

Many Blessings,
Renee

I'm Renee. I am first, and only, a child of the King of Kings. I am a wife to my husband who grew up in Costa Rica, and Mama to my two boys, one still on the way. Home is in Colorado Springs, but it's also been in Costa Rica and San Diego. We raise a bilingual household. I am a small business owner. I use cloth diapers, I make my own baby food and I am proud to be a Babywise mom. I am opinionated, outgoing and bold, but Jesus daily brings forth loveliness. I am a Southern California girl who says ya'll and I like to start my sentences with conjunctions. I worship loudly with my eyes closed, my hands up, and (usually) tears streaming down. Writing and speaking are great loves of mine. Skin care is my trade. Jesus and his people are my reason for being and my boys - the most important people in my life - get my kisses daily. I believe in living BIG. In giving EXTRAVAGANTLY. And in loving DEEPLY.
