Day 6!

We are in day 6 of our trip and having a good time. I am kind of sad at the moment and homesick, but the Lord is really providing. Because my good friend is here, it makes it so much more comfortable. We went to the British museum and library tour with J today and it was really good. Adalai is sick I think. She is just a bit off today, but I guess I would be too being an infant. Please pray she feels better. She is such a champ though, seriously, she was doing so well. I miss Ben and Wyatt though.
I am going to go though for now, just thought I would blog quick.

In London

I am there! It is exciting and scary and interesting and sad all at once. I LOVE the accents LOVe em... especially on little kids! I am pretty jet lagged and luckily getto stay with a good friend who wants to watch the baby while I rest. Praise God! I think that my emotions suffer when I am this tired, I am sad right now and miss home, although I know that I want to be here doing this and I am really thrilled about it! It is even more of a "God thing" that Adalai handled the transition and all the flight changes and the 9 hour red eye to London like a little Angel. It was absolutely amazing and I am so proud. I have had MANY compliments aleady on her behavior so that is wonderful! This is so amazing, as my friend and I walked along the street, she said, "Isn't it amazing that you have probably passed about 30 different cultures, just in our short walk?" YUP AMAZING! TOTALLY... so for now I am going to just look forward to it and take it one day at a time as K told me to do... it is best.. and look forward to what this melting pot has in store for me! Please pray that my anxiety is at bay and that I can glorify the Lord.

Leaving tomorrow~!

Oh my gosh this is it! I am really excited, all packed and everything! Please pray while we are gone, and I am hoping to blog while away..
Peace ya'll!!

Oh geezz

If you know my kiddo this is his favorite saying... Everything is OH GEEZ and he uses it in context too, like if he drops his sippy cup "oh geez".. Anyhow, this week is going to FLY! This weekend went so fast. In an hour I have to leave for prayer and we JUST got home. I am still having issues w/ prioritizing, and I actually think that to have enough time to pack really well, I am going to have to take Ben to work at 4:30am on Tuesday to be able to pick up my little Grandma so she can come and entertain the kids, at least the baby, while I get my things packed, since on Wednesday, I am going out w/ my Mom to see her for awhile before I leave. Oh dear, I don't like to get the kids out of bed to run daddy to work, but if that's what it takes to have the car and get stuff done, that is what it is going to take! Anyhow, I have some homework type stuff to do before leaving, and I really haven't been much focusing on the Bible and things like I should because I am caught up in the fact that I am going away and silly things like How do I pack? How do I leave Wyatt? What else do I need to buy before I go? How should I fit all the stuff that I want to carry on, into the carry-on? Oh dear, and most of all, how do I do everything I need to do, and still spend family time? (right now, daddy is watching a movie, while playing w/ the baby, and big brother is sleeping)... Anyhow, whatever the Lord provides all of the time, so I will get through it, but please pray for my sanity and my huge prayer right now is that I don't get like panic attacks while I am over there because of Wy being back here and getting homesick or whatever. It will be fun, I need some adventure in my life~!
Anyhow, not sure if I will find much time between now and then to blog, but peace to you all, and please be praying for Adalai and I in Lndn, and Wy and Ben here. Thanks!

Pray please

Such a funny thing occured to me over the past few weeks, why is it that you try to do something good and bad things start happening all around you. Someone then introduced me to the perspective of the fact that satan attacks when he sees you strive to be closer to God. That person really, in my perspective, knows what they are talking about. Goodness, gracious. Tonight was a hard night. I have reached the funds for the London trip, praise the Lord. There are a few aspects of my life that I am disheartened about at the moment, but in the end, I know will be OK. I go from being totally stoked about this trip and everything,to feeling just crummy. Ugh, anyhow, please pray with me if you could. I appreciate it.

The boy LOVES Elmo!

This is Wyatts favorite thing to do these days is watch Elmo. Seriously whenever we are in the living room where the TV is, he says "Elmo, peas (please)" and if we don't respond, then "ELMO, ELMO!!!" oh dear. Ben said he will be broken of this when I return from London. Let's hope so~! I mean at first it wasn't bad, but now he wants it all the time. (obviously that doesn't happen)
Well one week from today, we leave! I am getting really excited, and I can't wait to learn there... Wahooooo
We are praying for our London team tonight and also for the team leaving to go to the Holiness Camp in Ohio. So, it should be a fun night. I am going to try and make some cookies or cupcakes to take along!
Have a good day, ya'll...

9 Days

Wow I leave in 9 days... That is crazy! I haven't had a lot of time to blog because along with everything that goes on in our crazy lives normally, we had the dedication for Adalai and my baptism last weekend and we have been trying to get in some good family time too, because we are going to really miss each other!


I finished my shopping yesterday for the little things that I needed for my trip.. So that feels really great! I am going next week to buy my Crocs which is one of the really important items on my list! So, I have part of my bag packed, and then next monday we are doing our laundry to get the final things packed. I am pretty prepared, In my eyes, but I have never been out of the country before so, I guess I will really know once I put it to the test!
I am going to add some pics of the dedication/baptism too... Thanks Andy for your photography! You rock dude.







Hopefully tonight will be date night for my husband and I, since we are jam packed w/ stuff to do between now and when I leave. We are having prayer time this Thursday to send our team off... It is happening so fast that next thing I know, we are going to be on that plane! I can't wait to see K, M, and E!!!!! I am so excited for the experiance and pray that the Lord just shows me Himself in ways that I have never seems before. I am so excited!
Wow the clouds just opened up and poured outside! Praise the Lord maybe it will cool off around here after these storms we are supposed to get. I need to go now and study my folder and read the Word while the children are content. Please pray for peace for our family as the time comes for me to go away. I seriously feel, rereading this, that I am going away for months! It is only really two weeks! I think sometimes that I blow out of porportion really how long I will be gone. I mean, what's two weeks really? I know families that do trips like that all the time and leave their little ones behind... so I need to just keep that in mind. And how cool is it that W gets to hang out w/ his pastor, Auntie, Grams, and Oma, while I am away. He is going to have a blast!
Peace
