In God's Hands


This past weekend, we traveled to Springfield, Missouri one last time before we leave for Hungary. We had a great time with friends and visiting our home church. It was good to see everyone again. We also needed to pack our shipping container. Basically everything we are not carrying with us in our suitcases, went on this 20ft. container. It will travel by truck to Kansas City; by train to New Orleans or New York (depending on who you listen to); by ship to Germany and then by train and or truck to Budapest. My mind has a hard time understanding how all that works, but as we shut the door to the container I decided...it's all in God's hands!


Our journey had been filled with so many new things along the way, and there are so many questions still to be answered, but I am so comforted that it's all in God's hands...every single detail is in His control and for that I am so thankful!


So, our "stuff" may get to us (in 23 days to 2 months...depending on who you listed to) or it may not, but it's in His hands and I'm good with that!

Packing...again.


Seems like a lot of our time recently has been spent packing. First we packed all of our "stuff" out of our house into a duplex. Then from the duplex into a storage unit. We then packed 2 very loaded vehicles (think Beverly hillbillies!) as we moved up to Nebraska. We've been packing up our van basically every week going back and forth between our parents homes...I think we can safely say, we are tired of packing!


Today, I once again, gathered up our stuff in preparation for heading to Omaha for a final packing session before we get to pack our shipping container in 2 weeks and then in about a month, we'll unpack in Hungary. I hope after that, we don't have to pack for a while.
