A week from today I suspect that our life will feel very different.
We will have celebrated with friends and family at the Malawi Benefit on May 9 and we will have moved out of our home into the guest house at Glendale UMC. No more time spent cleaning and caring and praying for this house. No more emails and meetings and praying for the benefit. No more worrying about whether we will be able to fund this calling and adventure. Very little packing left to do. What will it feel like to wake up in as guests in a new house next Friday?
Granted, we still have two end-of-the-year picnics at Claire Marin and Carter’s schools. We still need to apply for our VISAs. We still need to book plane tickets and arrange for housing in Malawi. And spend as much time with friends and family as possible.
But I still think and pray that a week from today, I will be breathing deep and appreciating the respite and time of preparation that the next 8 weeks offer. The guest house at Glendale UMC sits just next to a labyrinth. We are less than a mile from many of our closest friends. Claire Marin will be riding her bike to school. deep breath…
A week from today, I’ll let you know how we’re doing!
You all are in my prayers! I also am headed to Malawi. I will be there for 2 weeks in Aug. on a mission trip! May God bless yall and your ministry! –Bethany Barrett
I was excited to learn of your plans. Than you for your faithfulness to his leadership. You will be in our prayers
