Almost that time

Hi friends!

I hope that your holidays were wonderful. I had a great time with my family.

Only 2 1/2 more days until I'm off to Orlando for training and conferences! Then it's back home for a week before I'm Germany bound on Feb. 4th.

It's a very strange feeling I'm going through right now. I am very excited to be going, but I'm also very sad about leaving.

My small group threw a party for me tonight. (It was my last night with them.) It is so hard to think about finding a group this great all over again.

I think I am talking from a place of stress and sleeplessness. My final training book has been read and my paper was written today. That means I am one step closer to being gone!

Your continued prayers are so greatly appreciated right now. If you would like specific ways you can be praying for me, here they are:

• I desperately need to sell my vehicle before I leave. I can not afford to make payments on it while I am gone.
• That a place for me to live would become available in Germany in the next couple of weeks. As of right now I will be staying with my regional director and his family until I can find a place.
• That I can find a reliable and reasonably priced vehicle quickly when I arrive in Germany.
• That all of the boxes I have sent that are being held in the Post Office in Germany will be safe when I arrive to claim them.
• That I can tie up all the lose ends here and make time to be here mentally for my friends and especially my family.

Thank you for your support and encouragement. Even though I am a jumble of emotions right now I still know that the Creator of the Universe is in control and if He takes care of the lilies and the sparrows He will take care of me!

I pray that you will be blessed in the New Year and thank God for you!
