Sometimes I look at my blog and think I really need to say something contemplative, deep, profound, funny, attention-grabbing. The fact of the matter is that I don’t have anything of the sort to put down. Just this nagging feeling that I must type something.
So let me tell you
I have 14 work days left, 28 days till I fly to Atlanta, and 32 days till I leave the USA for Puerto Rico.
I’m trying my best to work hard and love the people the Lord sends me at work for these last few weeks there.
I’m saying goodbye to my sister today as she moves to another state.
I’m staying up way later, getting up early, and arriving late to work just to spend as much time as I can with people I won’t see for a year. I’m starting to feel tired a lot of the time.
I pulled out all my equipment yesterday and showed it to some friends and family and let my niece and nephew play with some of it.
I’m stressing about the last $6000 I need to be fully funded for this trip, not to mention the extra money I need to leave behind for miscellaneous bills.
I’m loving the new people the Lord has brought into my life, but I realized I haven’t been spending much time with my family. I know I need to make the most of this time with family too.
I’ve started getting sick today.
And lately I’ve used the word “I” more times than I care to acknowledge.
Here is what I know
God is very, very near (Deuteronomy 31:6).
He is uber-faithful to finish what He started (Philippians 1:6).
He does what He says He will do (2 Corinthians 1:20) and it is way greater than we can imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
He provides everything we need to do what He calls us to do (2 Corinthians 9:8).
He is our safe place (Psalm 91).
He is beautiful (Psalm 90:17).
He must increase but I must decrease (John 3:30).
And Lastly
