one more week!

hello! well as you can imagine is has been a bit of a whirlwind getting everything prepped and ready to hop across the pond! happy to report several things - we both have our Visas! we have  ALMOST raised all the money we'll need, we only have this week left of work & we got our t-shirts in! which is fantastic news! they turned out better than expected & i'm personally stoked about the design! :)

this journey has been challenging, encouraging, stressful, joyful and hopeful. it always surprises me how many emotions one goes through when embarking on such a life changing trip. i mean, i'm pretty logical so it really shouldn't surprise me but it does. :)

we're due to head out this sunday! i can hardly believe the time has finally arrived! through all the ups and downs God has shown Himself faithful, gracious, and in COMPLETE control. sometimes i forget that and think He needs my help. which, is pretty hilarious since  He formed ALL of Creation and i just learned how to a make one perfect cup of coffee :) 


ah, i am amazed at how often He puts up with me, my frustrations and my control issues. but i am most thankful for His continuing grace and patience! it's pretty neat to look as far back as 5 years ago or just last month and see the work He's been doing in my life. i could never have imagined or dreamed that in just a few days i'll be walking around the very same places some of my quotable authors lived! c.s. lewis, edgar allen poe, jane austen - just to name a few ;) what incredible gifts!


now i'm off to start packing! :) but i'll end with this scripture - Psalm 145:3 "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable." if you have a moment read the entire chapter & may your heart be full of His praises!
