Wow. What an amazing trip our family had in Panama. It was such a joy to be able to experience a mission's trip together and to work alongside my husband taking photos while he did video. Part of me is still there while the other part is madly trying to catch up on life here back home. It can be hard to adjust after having a "high" doing something so meaningful for the Lord. And yet I know that in the dailyness of my life, there are those things that can have profound and lasting impact as well.

If you'd like to see our video, take a look at the sidebar of this column and go to my blog where I've posted it. I'm guessing your heart will be stolen by the faces of the Panamanian children as mine was!

In the meantime, be patient with me as I get back into a regular routine - whatever "regular" is these days! And if you've been on a missions trip... please do share it with me. How did you adjust to the regular grind again? Have you returned to the field?

Thanks!
