Finally!

So it really did finally happen! After much planning, packing and WAY too little sleep, we're off! It's bittersweet. I desire to go, yet it's so hard to leave. This is the life I know and love, yet I'm too curious about the rest of the planet to NOT go. But there have already been so many good things in our path. Clareview blessed us on Sunday with an amazing reception. It was so very touching to hear such high regards about yourself when you know you stumble every single day, just like everyone else. Each and every one of those words meant so much to me. To both of us. On Monday evening, we enjoyed a nice family meal together. Tuesday, we met a pastor, who just "happened" upon us. A complete stranger, but strongly encouraged us to keep going on the path we're headed. Appropriate timing as I considered if this was the right thing to do mid-flight. He wants us to share with his community when we get back. I love it when those "coincidences" happen! ~R
