I thought I'd post a little update on how things are going as we prepare for Honduras. Right now I'm feeling overwhelmed! It's not that I'm really that busy, but there are 10 million things whirling around inside my head that need to be done. And it feels like a vicious cycle… I can't do THIS until THAT's taken care of but I can't take care of THAT until this other thing (which is dependent on someone else's response) is done, and so on and so on and so on. It certainly doesn't help that our Internet is not working at home. About 90% of the things that need to be done involve the Internet in some way! (Do you know how difficult it is to update this blog using my phone?!!!)
In addition to my (admittedly very first-world) internet problems, we'd appreciate prayer for some other things that are beyond our control. We still need a buyer or renter for our house, and we're getting nervously close to our departure date. We are also working on figuring out how to get Tabitha's medical supplies while we're there. It's looking like we might have to pay out-of-pocket in order to get them all, so please be praying about that as well. We have about half of our needed monthly support pledged already! That is a huge blessing for which we are very thankful!
Beyond those items, my biggest prayer request is for peace and joy during the next several weeks. There's a lot to do, but I don't want to stress out our family by being stressed myself or by rushing through these days and ignoring the kids while I try to get stuff done. I need the Lord to keep me focused on Him, one step at a time, in the midst of all the busyness.
Thanks for your prayer and support. As we get closer to leaving I'm starting to get emotional about the people we won't see for a year. So PLEASE keep in touch!!!!! We'll miss you all a lot! Tonight and tomorrow we'll be sharing in the church services. Slightly terrified about that but excited to share about La Providencia.
Time to get ready for our final day of the yard sale. Until next time . . .
