Moving day

So yesterday we bought a house. Today our stuff arrived from Tokyo. On Wednesday I cried like a baby watching old videos from our church in Tokyo and the closing ceremony of the Olympics showing Tokyo take the torch for 2020. It's hard having your heart in two places but it means we loved well. It also means we may not be here forever because God has given us a vision of the world that reaches beyond our local hood. But if we are that's okay too. Only time can tell. The mix of emotions between excitement and sadness is hard to grasp. So you just keep putting one foot in front of the next and enjoy the ride and story God is writing. Oh, and I am really enjoying the fact that the Americans who work for the Japanese moving company are taking off their shoes while they unload boxes into our brand new home. Why can't everyone take off their shoes when they come inside?
