Twenty Days Later

So.. A lot has happened lately. I took a trip to Montreal for my visa interview. It was stressful, and amazing, and just a ball of emotions all wrapped up in one. We have been blessed this month seeing God work and move in our lives personally and to see an outpouring of generosity from our friends & family. I did get my very official looking visa. Very impressive, and have been guarding it with my life. We'll activate it in ONE WEEK! Holy. That part is a bit overwhelming, but very exciting all at the same time! Brent is looking forward to coming and getting me, and I can't wait to see him again. The time apart is getting harder and harder. Someone told me that was the best sign there is - to miss someone more and more each time.

It's a weird thing to leave your country. I've been here before, - the move to SC was hard, but not quite as final as this one is. I'm feeling the weight of not being here when my niece/nephew have their next birthdays, and missing all the "fun" that I know will happen over the next bit.

But in this all I have an overwhelming sense of Daddy's goodness, and faithfulness. I know He cares about the details.

So Much To Do

So I'm in the perfect storm right now.. Getting Married, Doing Paperwork for the US Gov, and Moving to another COUNTRY!! It's kinda overwhelming at times. I really do struggle with the timeline, and my thoughts mostly, fears that it won't all get done, that I'll have to leave with something outstanding.

My ever loving fiance has continued to support and encourage me. My family has been so good to come over and help and sort and buy my stuff. My work has been great at keeping me working so I can finance all this. There are so many blessings that I loose sight of. I will miss this place in life, my friends & family so close, my work so challenging, but at the same time I know the place that I am going is full of love and full of Jesus. He's like a shadow that you can't shake.

Again the passage comes back to me "Guard clear thinking and common sense with your life; don't for a minute loose sight of them". Jesus is my clear thinking and my common sense. I need Him. Every breath, every moment. I need Him.
