Last Week

We have a lot going on lately.  We've been slowly and steadily packing for the last month.  It seems we are actually getting to the end of it.  I'm coordinating VBS which is this week, Smith's birthday today, Father's day was Sunday along with serving lunch at church.  And we move out of our house this Saturday. As insane as this all sounds, it has been going really very smoothly.  I am convinced it's nothing but God's grace.

With the move out right on the horizon, I can't deny some of the sadness that comes along with a change, though goodness knows I'd like to. I'm not fond of sadness. 

With a couple of friends entering the mission field, I've heard them talk about doing healthy good byes so you can have good hellos in the new place. Since a couple of my kids are sad about leaving (one especially) I think it's probably good to address and acknowledge the sad feelings.  So at the suggestion of one of said friends, we plan to do a memory walk through our house.  All together going through each room and remembering good times that God gave us there.  It made me get teared up just thinking of doing it.  gag.  but in the end it will probably be healthy and wonderful for us all.  :)
