Our lives here in the Solomon Islands fill up quickly with "now you see it, now you don't" moments. I have a feeling that we're not the only ones.
For example, here Olivia stands, joyful and laughing in anticipation on a Monday afternoon as the airplane taxis with some SITAG colleagues inside. Now you see it.
What most people didn't see? That Olivia brought school books with her and worked in the car all the way to the airport. She also unpacked her bag and tackled chemistry right up until the time that we expected the plane to land.
In this picture, we splash and play and enjoy relaxing and visiting with our SITAG colleagues. Now you see it.
What you don't see? The requests for our time, energy, and money that come via a phone call after we've gone to bed. The surprise visit early in the morning from a village friend who catches Aaron just getting out of the shower. Our constant dependence on the Lord for wisdom and discernment at all hours of the night and day.
