Overwhelmed

We finally have Jethro's passport ordered and our plane tickets bought, we are well on our way to Uganda. 

As our time here in the U.S. comes to a close, I feel more stressed than ever. 

My list of things to do and things we still need are VERY long. 

I feel like I am running out of time

and I am.

We have to move everything out of the house we are living in.

Raise all of our support 

Find a non-profit CPA

Buy things that we will need in Uganda that they do not have there.

Get summer shoes for Jethro.
Move storage units.

Sell our Land Cruiser, our little truck and our rafting gear (sad day)

Find out how we are we going to get to Uganda with only 2 bags each.

and the list goes on and on.

on top of all that, we are leaving family and friends that we love so much. 

We do not know when we will see them again but I know we will miss them.

Oh how we have enjoyed the wonderful memories we have made over the past 6 months.

God has called us to leave our family and friends to follow Him. 

We are happy to follow Him but I am so overwhelmed with it all.

We will miss them terribly and 

just imagine you are moving to another house and all you can take is 2, 50 pound bags each,

including all the ministry stuff we need.

I know Shawn and I pack light but this is REALLY light.

As we prepare to get all the physical things taken care of,

I know God is taking care of me.

Just today, as we purchased our plane tickets, I became so overwhelmed I couldn't even talk without getting overwhelmed and then I would shut down.

I didn't think we could get it done,

but our God is bigger that all that.

Just today we:

talked with a non-profit CPA and he will do our taxes,

sold our rafting gear,

got two calls on our little truck,

a friend of ours wants to throw a benefit dinner for us,

and I now have a great peace about EVERYTHING.

Thank you God for your continued hand over our lives and our move to Uganda.

We continue to live by faith and trust in you for everything.
