We leave tomorrow!!! It is hard to believe it is finally here. I was talking with a friend this morning about our trip. It is a strange kind of one. Doesn't feel like a vacation. Doesn't feel like a mission trip. The closest thing I can remember that felt the same was when we were moving to Michigan.
We accepted a job in Michigan during the last month of my pregnancy with Hannah. Scott had traveled to Michigan from North Carolina and met the people, toured the area, and looked at houses. I stayed at home too pregnant to travel. He then moved to Michigan when Hannah was a couple weeks old. I finally followed for a house hunting trip about a month later. We knew we were moving there, that decision was already made. I was just finally getting to see my new homeland. This trip kind of feels the same way.
We know we are going there and we are just finally getting a picture of where we are going. Difference is - all of us are walking into the unknown. We are all excited and not in the least bit nervous (other than being worried I forgot to pack something). God has been so very gracious in that respect.
Alex is probably the most excited. If he sleeps at all tonight it will be a miracle! If we are all sane by the time we arrive in Spain it will be a miracle! This is like Christmas for him. One more thing I am praising God for - He didn't call just Scott and I, God called us all to this journey and the kids are enjoying the ride just as much as us.
Pray for tomorrow morning as we try to remember all the last minute stuff. Pray for great flights and connections. And yes, keep praying about the house - 2nd showing had great feedback, still waiting for feedback from the 1st showing. God's perfect timing.
Next post will be on our way to Spain. Join us for the journey!
Looking forward to meeting you this week!
