You've got to be kidding!

Okay, so I'm totally stessed and overwhelmed! I can't go into all the details, it would take too long, but we are not leaving for Jamaica on July 3rd. :( At this point it looks like it will be a week later. Still waiting for the permit to come in and for the van to sell. We are still standing on the promises of God and know we are in His timing, but we're just a little frustrated. We just keep reminding ourselves of all that has happened in the past year and what God has done for us, so there must be a reason for all of this. We know He has a plan! :)

Just keep praying for us that God will work out all the details. We want what's best! We'll keep you posted!

Crazy Times

Well, things are getting a little crazy around here. While we await the arrival of our Jamaican work permit, we must plan like it is already here. We leave in two days to go to PA for about 10 days to say goodbye to family and friends. But before we leave for that we must: 1. pack 2. 3 doctor visits (1 foot, 1 dentist, 1 eye doc). Got to get it all in before we leave the country. Plus, we just finished our summer newsletter, changed the look of our website, updated this blog, kids going to VBS and we finished our last day of work. In our spare time, we are preparing for our farewell dinner at church on June 22nd, (practicing songs and getting power point ready) and preparing to present to the kids of our church on June 25th. Not to mention trying to decide what to take and what to leave with Paul's parents. We also can't forget trying to see all of you important people in our lives! We are trying to find airline tickets...which one has the lowest of the new baggage fees (we'll each have at least 3...3x6=18!) and we'll have to take our work permit to a Jamaican Consulate (probably in Chicago) to have our passports stamped with our visa. Hopefully, in the mix we will sell our van...how will we get to Chicago? But it will all be worth it when we board the plane and take off for sunny Jamaica! Please pray we don't kill each other before then!
