My reality checks seem more surreal than real. I am leaving very soon to live in Belize. Dennis and I are leaving most of our possessions (stuff) with our three grown sons and their families. Not really caring about most of the stuff, it's the leaving part that has hit home today.
I was alone in my car at the Shoe Show parking lot. I had just picked up a pair of shoes for a friend in Belize and found some really cool Star Wars socks for Benaiah for Christmas. Then it hit me, Dennis and I aren't going to be here for the holidays with our children and grandchildren. That didn't quite register before now, sitting there holding socks for the baby. I cried. God saw my tears. Thank you for your promises Lord.
Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI will continue to lift you & Dennis up in prayer. God has lead you both to this, so yes,, He will carry you & be with you through out your journey. He has already made a way for you guys. As I have told you,, I think of you often & it catches my breathe,,so I pray for you.
I admire you & Dennis for giving us an example of what it means to do what God calls you to do - even if it seems scary or sureal.
Love you,
Lisa J
