The Murray Family: April 2014

http://4murrayfamilynews.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

All you need is love. Wednesday, April 16, 2014. We are 2 weeks away from heading out and as I sit looking at space bags looking eerily and aptly named and collections of toiletries and toys gathering on the table yet to be backed, I am left thinking about the people we are leaving behind. I feel conflicted writing or saying too much about it because while I know it is exciting and painful for us, it is also exciting and painful on a different balance for our family. Links to this post. What's on my mind.

The Murray Family: March 2014

http://4murrayfamilynews.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

All you need is love. Sunday, March 23, 2014. Let the countdown begin. Lately I have been waiting on just one more item on the list to be completed, only to have another item added. I have lived in limbo between sticking my head in the sand to being completely overwhelmed. My emotions are all over the place. So, first, the big and exciting things that have been checked off our list. Kyle has officially resigned from his position here. These two items are huge! He is so faithful! When I look at this list,...

The Murray Family: a strong tower...

http://4murrayfamilynews.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-strong-tower.html

All you need is love. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Life on the mission field is like my house. Here it is.I think it is charming.I love the green and the wood detailing.don't even get me started on the nice, cool breeze that passes through all the large windows. I love this house. When we first moved to Honduras I fell in love with this house and its charm. I never thought I would live in it, because, of course, I was here for one week. From that point on, I called myself the reluctant missionary. Surely t...

The Murray Family: Reaching the End and facing Beginnings...

http://4murrayfamilynews.blogspot.com/2015/04/ends-and-beginnings.html

All you need is love. Thursday, April 16, 2015. Reaching the End and facing Beginnings. To change. Saying yes has been challenging. We have had to say goodbye to our families and dearest friends; Kyle quit his job of 10 years; We left or sold our most valued possessions. And the Lord has covered it all. We have been challenged, but not in despair. Calvary, the boy who once could not sleep in a different room in our own home, has moved homes 5 times and lived in 3 countries. How can we leave Papa? And I a...

The Murray Family: April 2015

http://4murrayfamilynews.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

All you need is love. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. I remember the morning that I first woke up to see this little guy sleeping in this beautiful Moses basket. Just the day before, I held him wrapped in rags, covered in the signs of birth, hungry and crying. But today, 2 days shy of 9 months ago, I am remembering how he slept like a prince. Today, I woke up needing to remember that this message is for me. This is why we need community. Sometimes our burdens are too big to carry alone and we need to be reminde...

The Murray Family: October 2014

http://4murrayfamilynews.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

All you need is love. Thursday, October 23, 2014. I've discovered that this act of mothering is my worship to Him right now; dying to self and delighting in them.there is failure, oh yes it is messy and sloppy sometimes, yet forgiveness and grace and growing.". This quote speaks to my heart. It is loving and delighting in these children.mine and the ones that are only mine for now.that i am choosing to worship the Lord. Mothering isn't just for mothers. This is how the Lord is asking me to worship Him.

The Murray Family: July 2014

http://4murrayfamilynews.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

All you need is love. Thursday, July 24, 2014. This weekend we are heading out to Honduras for a trip serving two purposes: first, to serve alongside Tara and Jorge Garcia and ROOM Honduras and secondly to renew our tourist visa here in Costa Rica. Renewing our visa means that we have been here in Costa Rica for 90 days! It has been a while since I have actually sat down to compose my thoughts here and much of that is because it is difficult to truly process all that has taken place here. And an entire s...

I have never had to worry about their present. I wrote my friend and told her ...
