Reunited and it feels so good!

For the last eleven days, I (Corey) have been in California for a ministry presentation marathon. It was a great trip and I'm eager to see all that the Lord is going to do through it to increase our support. When I left, I knew I would miss my wife and kids but I had never left my family for any real length of time before, so I don't really think I knew what to expect. Though the trip was good, it was very long and I was very eager to get back home. We decided that the family would stay home in Ohio while I went to California because our kids were beginning to wonder if we even had a home anymore. Ella wouldn't sleep at night and Catelyn was asking us if this was our new house every couple weeks. In addition, Catelyn began to lose it every time her mommy would leave the room. This isn't like our her so we thought we would try to minimize the kids traveling a little. Even though it was the best option for the family, it still stunk to not be together and unfortunately there are a couple more lengthy opportunities for us to be apart while we continue in this transition. Regardless, it's a blessing to be home. So next week, off to Montreal for another 11 days of training but back home for a whole month in Ohio.
