Leaving On A Jet Plane......

>> Thursday, October 2, 2008

It's been a few weeks since we've updated this blog, and that's because we've been busy getting ready to leave TOMORROW!  After over a year of preparing, two months of training, and several days of packing, it's hard to believe the day has finally arrived.  For the first time in 10 years, neither of us has a working cell phone.  Only one key remains on our keychains - the key to the car that will take us to the airport at noon tomorrow.  We'll spend the next two days traveling across the world, finally landing in our destination city of K* on Sunday at 3:30 pm local time.  Please be praying for us as we travel and begin to adjust to life on the other side of the world - we will provide an update as soon as we can, and hopefully even send out a newsletter with some great pictures of our new home!  We don't know what kind of crazy adventures are ahead of us, but we do know that God, who goes before us, is faithful and worthy to be trusted.


"I lift my eyes up to the hills,
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel 
 will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
 nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all evil;
 He will keep your life.
The Lord will keep your going out and 
 your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

                       ~ Psalm 121
