A Little Melancholy

The reality of Hannah leaving is beginning to hit.  She leaves in four days for Spain without us.  She is so excited so it is a little difficult to be sad, but I am going to miss her!  Her suitcases are almost packed (although they probably weigh too much) and we are finished shopping.  The good-byes have begun - first grandma and the cat, then granny and papa, tomorrow to church and most church friends, ...  It is close enough to begin to feel real.

We know we are doing the best thing for her, but sure wish we were either going with her or knew when we'd be following.  One more step in faith.  We continue to pray that God will provide the rest of our support and the VISAs will arrive in time for us to leave in September, but until God answers we do not know how long we will be separated (although at 90 days she has to come home if we have not arrived with her VISA).

She leaves Wednesday so I figure I need to fill my calendar full for Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning until we hear that she has safely arrived.  Pray that I don't drive the family crazy while we wait.  Pray for the Hendricks as they prepare for her arrival.  Pray for Scott as he prepares to say goodbye to his "little girl."  Pray for Hannah that she leaves with no regrets.  Pray that we are quickly behind her.
