California to Cameroon

A big thing happened last week. Our shipment arrived! These are boxes we packed back in November. They then made their way from CA all the way to Cameroon. I know that stuff is just stuff (and I am praying that God teaches me that more and more), but it is amazing how having familiar things here instantly made it feel more like home. In most ways this is great (we finally have somewhere to call home and are feeling more settled) but in a few ways this is hard (whew, we’re really staying here . . . hard things and all). In all these things it is my prayer that God will be brought glory through our lives and what He gives us each day.

Of all the things that were in our boxes I’m probably the most excited about a microwave, crock pot and Tupperware (lots of it)! The girls are thrilled to have many toys and books that they haven’t seen in a long time.

Our boxes in CA (thanks again to my wonderful in-laws for letting us pile our stuff in their house). 

And now all the way in Cameroon!

Gracie is SO happy to have her pink doll house.

Anna is loving all the Little People stuff too.

Bell doll from Uncle Jason, Aunt Kristy, Nate & Ellie for Anna's birthday. They are inseparable!

And this . . . just because they are cute!
