Leaving Soon!

United Flight 6334 will be leaving Memphis Airport on August 29th with Dennis and I on it.  Our first one way ticket ever!  We are so excited to see the date closing in.  I feel joy in knowing that God has chosen Dennis and I to do His work in Belize.  I also feel sadness at leaving my family behind.  God has really been working on me, teaching me that I have to take my hands off of everything around me.  I am not to worry about all that is left behind.  Worrying is not trusting God.  All that is here is in the hands of God, my family, my house, my pets, my church...everything.  It's not so much that they all need me to live on this earth,  it's that I have needed them.  Now as I take my hands off of it all, I press in to my God to sustain my emotions for the separation that is to come.  I am leaving nothing, I am just going to be somewhere else.

Dear Lord, thank you for your blessings.  We have been given much and now we give much in return.  You are here with me now and I know you will never leave me.  You give me strength and you are developing peace in my heart for my life ahead.  I love you Lord.

Luke 18:29-30
"I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and in the age to come, eternal life."
