Well, it's been a long day. I am so exhausted!! And our trip hasn't even started. I have emotions right now that I wasn't expecting. Way more nervous than I would have guessed.
Jeff and I have some of the sweetest friends. So many have stepped in to help here in the last few weeks. It has been precious to have them rally behind us. It helps us not to feel all alone in this. Certainly we know that we have God with us but He also uses His people to strengthen and encourage His children.
Today was Jeff's birthday and he turned 50 years old!! I managed, again with the help of sweet friends, to have a quick lunch with him (alone:)). I must admit that while we ate I looked at him and thought a time or two "We're crazy; he's turning 50 and we're about to have a two year old!". And then I was reminded by that still small voice that many saints before have done great things in the latter halves of their lives. I don't know what we'll do (I have certainly grieved the Lord many a time) but I am praying that God will use all the years we have to make an impact and that we will lay down our lives for the works that He has laid out before us. So grateful the He is faithful even when we are not.
I'm not sure what else to write right now. I feel a bit like a "deer in headlights"! Please pray as we fly out tomorrow.
