January 6, 2014. 104 days from now.
Hokey toots.
I have a weird mix of emotions right now. The first is excitement. I have been waiting for that date since 7th grade. The second is sadness. A hundred and four days doesn't seem like that much longer to be with all the people that I love. The third is a big ole question mark. It doesn't even seem real. And although having an actual date makes it a ton more real, the actual idea still seems a bit foreign. I don't think it will really settle in until I start packing.
Here are a few praises and prayer requests until next time...
1. As an update of praise, I got the job at Little People's Place! (: I started last week and it has been going really well. Yay God!
2. Brooks gets to come on the trip with the Haven team!! We had been praying about that for quite awhile and are really really excited that God has opened those doors for him and for us as a couple. A follow up request after that praise is just for finances to come together for him as well.
3. And again, I just ask for prayers for a heart of readiness. I don't know what that means to be honest, but I know it is a good thing to pray. I have more free time now, so I want to be using that time to seek after the Lord's heart and prepare my own for what lies ahead.
Friends, this next step is getting closer and closer. I cannot wait for the journey that awaits me, and I covet all of your prayers.
Much love!
Gracie
