12.1.14


I got my passport in the mail this week! Excited! And yesterday I paid my deposit. There is money tied up in this, and money is the one thing I really hate using. Peter works hard to make the paycheck, and sometimes it seems like he gives far too generously to me.

Each day Haiti is a fleeting thought to me. I can push it to the back of my mind because "it is still  3 1/2 months away" but I do hope that the time will not sneak up on me. I hope I am prepared in every way possible.

On the other hand,

God is whispering promises to me.

Promises of blessings and adventures to come because of our sacrifices; both financially and in my time away. 

This trip means so much to our family. 

I can hardly wait for this picture to be completed. 

Savior, Sovereign, Artist is working to make me better than I am.

       I am so, so, scared. Today is Wednesday, and we leave on Saturday night.  I am afraid that something bad will happen.   I am trying to leave everything in order.      My priorities are mixed up. Wouldn't I want to spend as much time as I could with the kids? Instead I am cleaning everything in sight.  I just want to be gone and over with it.  Here's to trying to rest in each moment, and to taking it all in.

   We are four weeks away from our leave date for Haiti! I am so excited I can't stand it! Yesterday I bought shoes and other clothes to take... I hope I will be prepared, stress free.  I hope I have something to contribute.  I hope I am not viewed as dead weight.  I hope that every second I am being stretched and refined I will grow closer to Jesus.  I hope that I will leave my family in the hands of the one who should be holding them.  I hope they grow in Him too!    Now is the time to truly prepare myself and the kids for when I am gone.

   The time for me to leave for Haiti is coming very close. I am occupied with constant, distracting thoughts of things I must accomplish in order to leave "well" with all I need to ensure my comfort, and to be sure I can leave my family without thoughts of what I did not do for them before I left. Most of all, what I am worried about is that first day.   Sleeping on the plane, and then jumping right into Haiti.      I hope we... mostly me, let everyone else worry about themselves... can get enough rest to make it through the whole day.  I don't know what God has in store for me, but I hope I am changed.  I hope He will stir in us, and make us stronger in how we serve Him.
