Though John and I have discussed doing ministry together as a team, I'm beginning to question how feasible that is while raising small children. Stacy considers being a mom her ministry, and I can certainly understand why. It's a full-time job! Stacy says she and Marc taught together and were equally involved in reaching out to the Bara during their first two years, but ever since they began to have children it's totally changed...
I often wonder where John and I will end up. What will our ministry look like? Who will we be reaching and who will we work with? I try not to imagine it too much because I want to avoid making expectations. I'm thankful I was so consumed with Adrienne's wedding before coming here to Madagascar because I was too busy to make expectations for my time here. If you don't have expectations you cannot be disappointed. That's a good model to live by.
