Outside my window… it’s a cold grey day.
I’m thinking… wow! only 4 days to go. We leave Link Care and Fresno on Saturday. It’s been an interesting 8 weeks, learning lots of new things about myself, my husband and our ministry. I have a sense of readiness for the next chapter, an excitement about the possibilities for us as a family. But there’s also a sadness that I have to leave this wonderful place and my wonderful friends and go back to a place where it’s hard to find trustworthy people and form deep friendships. A place where alot of painful things have happened, and I don’t know how I will be received. I don’t know if people will take me as I am, today, and not try to put me in boxes that have worked for them in the past. I’m new. I’ve changed. I’m more confident and strong. How will others respond to that? If the response is negative, will I have to confidence to keep going? I think so. I hope so. This part of the journey is hard. Leaving a very safe, accepting environment, moving out into the big wide world, The Unknown. It’s exciting. But also daunting.
In the kitchen… We have too much food, and are unable to consume it all by Saturday. So we’ll be having lots of dinner guests this week. And I’m sure that we’ll be giving alot away. Anyone want any freebies??
I’m thankful for… the way God brings things together. Sometimes we can’t see how he’s bringing things together, but he is always working in our favour, even when it seems like things are quite going how we want them to.
I’m Reading… Same book. And I think I have a bunch of other books to buy and take with me.
I’m hearing… a plane flying overhead… and the tap tap tapping of my friend typing next to me.
Around the house… we’re packing up. Tommorrow we start cleaning and sorting what we take to FL, what we mail to Thailand and what we leave behind for others. I don’t really want to think about it. The thought of leaving makes me sad. Even though I know it’s the right time to move on.
One of my favourite things… when Samantha runs across the rooms, kisses and hugs me and says, “I love you, Mummy!”
Plans for the weekend… Saturday: Final cleaning and packing; driving to San Jose; and then hopefully BethAnn’s play. Sunday: CCC in San Jose
