Finally arrived in Kansas City today. I can't believe it. I'm not quite here mentally yet. It will take some time to adjust this time, realizing I don't have to go home in a week or month. I'm getting settled into our temporary home, but am so tired decided to quit, post a few lines, and just rest. Stayed with some old friends in St. Louis last night, which was fun and a nice break. The last week has been hell. Temperature's in the 90's, humidity you could cut with a knife, packing, separating, loads going off in 4 directions. 1 to Gwen's for auction, several loads to my brother's for storage, 3 loads to the dump, and packed my trailer to store at Dad's. I don't think I could have lasted another day. Then the goodbye's....which I cry when I leave for vacation, let alone for 6 months! I thought I counted the cost of this, but I guess you really can't foresee it all. I'm excited about what God's doing, even in the midst of painful changes anyway. Looking forward to what the next 6 months bring. I keep thinking...I sold my house...we quit our jobs.....still surreal.
Checked out the Mercy Ship Disaster Response, on line today and sent for information. Not sure what kind of commitment is required but have always wanted to check that out. They have been in Haiti working since about a week after the earthquake I believe. Anyway....who knows what's on the horizon, but God! And He's not tipping His hand just yet.
