Things are moving very quickly here. Just as winter ended and I thought, "Great, we can enjoy spring and summer in the mid west." Then, we realized we are now 3 months from leaving, if we leave in August. August makes sense because the doctor I'm replacing leaves in July, school starts August 26th and we want to be over jet lag before the kids start. If we don't leave then, the next option is December, when it would be very hard to find someone to rent or buy our house.
We are in that area where we wonder if we are stepping out in faith or stepping out in front of God's perfect timing. Whenever we pray, God seems to be saying, "August" or is that just me? Logically, there are too many things to do before then:
Sell 2 cars
Lease or sell our house
pack a family of 5
raise 40% more support
start buying & shipping stuff we will need there
and that's just the big stuff.
Oh, did I mention I have my Board re-certification in July?
Just for fun, our kids are adolescents. They are not enjoying monster public schools after Nate Saint Memorial School. The whole school, K - 8, is the same size as most of their classes in the monster public schools.
So please pray we will receive wisdom, and most importantly, that we will be in step with God, not in front or behind. God is still on the throne, I just am not sure which way he is pointing, August or December.
P.S. Since I wrote the letter to a friend, the Lord has increased our support. It sure looks more like August.
Thank you, Lord.
