Move update

So I believe it has been a little too long since my last post. Let me start by filling you in on a major update... our visas have arrived! This means we fly out on Wednesday. So it's happening. It's really happening. Life as we know it, milk as we know it, transportation, meat, plugs...as in electrical outlets...family, friends, and everything as we now know, will be different. I will not be able to buy anything on my own, as I have no idea how to find it. I will not be able to communicate with locals because I don't even know how to say hello in their language. Everything I find comfort in...my friends, my family, my favorite foods, tv shows, my BED...will be different. 

Yet one thing will be the same, and in this I find great hope and peace. God is the same here, there, in my joys, and in my sorrows. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He never changes, and I can count on that. 

I believe this experience will truly reveal my heart. The good, bad, and ugly. I believe that this experience will allow me to see the beauty of the Gospel in a new way.

If I stay here, there are so many other things fighting for my affections. So many other things which I find comfort and hope.

But to have everything of this world

every material thing that gives me comfort, 

stripped away...

I will only have Christ. 

And that is enough. 

So please be praying for us these next few days! Once we arrive in country, we have a jam-packed schedule so please be praying for endurance!
