In the Mean Time

For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. ~Romans 14:7-8

There is so much to do to get ready to move overseas. Decisions have to be made, paper work has to be filled out, and checklists have to be made. I am not one to make lists of things to get done. However, I am beginning to realize if I don't write down what I need to do, I will put it off.

I am learning to trust the Lord to guide me in every decision I make. He knows and understands all. My life belongs to Him. He has given me a restless spirit. "Don't get too comfortable." I hear this phrase over and over in my heart.

As I look ahead at the long list of things to do, my mind becomes overwhelmed. I ask you to pray that my lack of organization skills would not hinder the accomplishment of some very time sensitive tasks. Moving overseas can be exciting but also incredibly intimidating at all the business that has to be taken care of.

The Czech people are an incredible people who have over come so many adversities. Their love of family and relationships is truly incredible. Close relationships become very important to them over time. It takes time for them to open up and let you in. So this week, please pray for the relationships that will be built during my time in this gorgeous country.

Thank you for the support that you have given already! I have been blessed beyond anything I could expect.
