Oh wow!...As of this posting I am 5 days away from leaving for Texas. It is so weird, knowing how long we have been working towards this week, and all the anticipation that has occured....it is finally here!
I took my car yesterday to get my tires rotated/balanced and aligned, and Daddy is going to change my oil sometime this week. So here is the plan for the week.
Saturday: Heath has his first Jamboree game at Ohatchee, so we will all be there supporting him. Then we are going to have our last family get together with us all there together (this includes Jenn and Ryan and the girls:))
Sunday: My sweet church family is having a potluck to send me off. I am so blessed to be apart of such an amazing church with some AWESOME things happening! and then....my BEST FRIENDS that have all moved off to college are all home, and we are having a big fun night at my house before everyone heads off to the respective mission trips, music camps, etc. I am so excited to be able to spend some much need time with them!
Monday: this is my big Walmart day....I wish you guys could see my lists (that is plural) I have made of things that need to get done...other than finalizing student loans, paying car payment, and taking car of finalizing things here at home...there is still so much i still have to get before I can leave!...so I am taking this day to go to Wally world and getting all of my last minute things.
Tuesday: this is my last night to work at Ron's. I am so blessed to work for such a Godly man. Ron has been so supportive of my going to Texas. And for those of you wondering, yes I will be back at Ron's when I return. Ron has been so gracious to allow me to go and have this opportunity, while still leaving my job available to me.
Wednesday: The BIG PACKING DAY!....I will load up my car, and get everything all ready to head out. I have to be ready to leave, by the time we leave for church Wed. night.
For those of you that don't already know Jennifer Wright's (our youth ministers wife), mother lives in Houston. So Jennifer has been gracious enough to make this drive with me. So she is going to stay with me Wed. night, and we will leave bright and early in the morning Thursday.
And as great and organized as all my plans sound, I know the Lord will work his masterwork within it all. It amazes me to look back and see how faithful he has been throughout this whole process. I thought my nerves would be getting the best of me, but my sovereign Lord has put within me such a peace that I haven't dealt with nerves at all!
I just finished my second time reading The Shack. I read this book sometimes when I need a little reinforcement for the might handy work of my God. This book always succeeds in putting my back into the relationship that I need with my Savior. How often, I feel as more a nuisance than a joy. I am so thankful that he delights in calling me his daughter.
"As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me." Psalm 40:17
