On my way ...

It's finally here ... I've dropped the kids off, shared some hugs & kisses (yes, Cassie let me give her a kiss!), and I'm now at Dore's Cafe' enjoying some quiet time to reflect. I want to stay focused on why God is sending me and the plan He has in store for me.

Psalm 139:1-6
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my siting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord,
You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.



God's knowledge is perfect in every way. He knows my heart and I am confident in every way that if I seek Him with all my strength, He will clear the path that was intended for me to follow. He has settled my anxieties, cleared the way for this journey in so many ways.

Here's the JCB's ... my unendingly faithful bible study chicks, my prayer team, my Emmitt's, my best buds, my anchor when I'm floating aimlessly and my floatation device when I'm sinking into the pits. I love you guys with all my heart and I can't thank you enough for ALL that you have done and been to me over this last year and before. (Josh Groban is on the radio ... You Raise Me Up ... LOL)

Brittany & Cassie ~ I'm so proud of you. You've been very brave and supportive these last few days and I can't thank you enough. I love you and I'll see you soon.

Rodney ~ Thanks for the kick in the butt! I can't wait to see the work that will be done here and what God has in store for YOU on your journey! I am so excited for you. This last year has been one for the record books and will never be forgotten or regretted. A while ago, I was praying for you and Isaiah 51 was placed on my heart. I have read it several times, but haven't been able to understand what message I'm supposed to give you. But my bible has a heading on that chapter ... "The Lord Comforts Zion" ... maybe that just it. So, I'm gonna focus and clear myself of everything else that has been distracting me and let God do a mighty work. Love ya ~ :-)

Alright now ... signing off until Beuis, Romania ... can't wait to read your comments (that's that little section at the end of the post ~ LOL) and please keep us in your prayers as we travel and minister.

God = Love ... Alma :-)
