These posts may be formatted funny. I’ll be doing a lot from my phone. Thank you for understanding. Also thank you for all of your comments. I have yet had a chance I reply, but know I read and treasure them all.
My heart is full of thanks today, and a little bit of sorrow, too. I’ll miss family.
I wrote a little while back, it takes courage to go and it takes courage to stay. Today, I go. It’s been over a decade and a half since I’ve gone. It was Haiti, Husband and I went to when we were just newly weds. Haiti has never left our hearts.
Today, I’m standing before a deli counter in the airport, waiting for my egg, ham and cheese bagel, tapping away on my iPhone before I head to gate 73.
Now, at the gate, I’m not even sitting. Husband warned that I need to be ready to board the plane as soon at they call. “Atlanta flights are always full,” he says. He would know. He’s been there more times than I can count–working diligently to provide the very best for us.
This plane will take me to Atlanta, then to Guatemala–and I’m about to have my life changed. Husband said so, and because he said it I believe it even more.
I have his full support.
I have my family’s blessing.
I have their faithful prayers and your faithful prayers.
I’m thankful for this opportunity to travel and to write. I feel overwhelmed with gratitude and also with the sense of responsibility I have. I desire to be a good steward of this gift.
The family and I were able to stay at the beautiful airport hotel. I simply had I go downstairs to catch my flight. As I kissed each goodbye, I laid hands on all my children, individually and prayed. Husband prayed for me before he saw me off.
Tears welled.
I’m leaving with a bit of regret that I didn’t spend enough time with them or do enough with them. I want to leave them secure in my love.
As I leave I must be secure in God’s love–for what I am not and should be to them–He is.
I’m am grateful for World Help, and the people I’ve corresponded with up to this point. They’ve all been so very gracious and accommodating.
You will meet them soon, as I will, too.
I’ve got a window seat and hot cocoa in my hand. I’ve got my favorite blanket from home on my lap. Although there is a delay in the flight, I am settled in this moment waiting to take off. I know I’m where I’m supposed to be, doing what I’m supposed to be doing.
I pray that God finds me faithful and that He will be pleased with me.
