A quiet a.m.!!!

I slept in a little while this a.m.  It has been an emotionally draining week!  I know that departing is apart of the warfare, but . . . it isn't really comfortable.  I am grateful for a good night's sleep last night.  That hadn't been my story the two nights previously . . . couldn't get my brain to turn off, and seemingly endless things to ponder and, yes,  fret over!

I do have the feeling that things are falling into place, and I have either gotten most things done, or I have them "scheduled".  For those of us who like structure and closure, this means a lot.  The one big remaining question is about the house.  I feel more comfortable with that this a.m.  I know the Lord is in control.  I am praying about the outcome, and would invite you to join me.

Meeting with friends last Sat night was a blessing.  Even working on what to share helped me to realize the vastness of the organization that I am seeking to help and minister in.  What a joy to be able to share these thoughts again this afternoon with friends who pray, and I mean really pray.  I am so grateful to have them on my team.

Better run for now otherwise I won't get through today's TO DO list!

Getting further user friendly with all of this!!!

Can this really be happening to me!?  After a few moments of momentary panic, I have figured out how to do a second post!!!  What an encouragement!!!  The day AFTER my Medicare card arrived, I figured two or three things out on my computer!!!  You are never too old to learn!  Thank you, Jesus!  And, I walked a 5K this a.m. with my buddy Blair and her eight grandchildren!  We finished dead last! 

Less than three weeks until Departure Day!

It has been quite a week for me!  I have spent so much time at my computer trying to figure out how to become an 'online' person who is also 'paperless'.  At one point I just had to throw myself across my bed and at least try to shed a tear or two.  Tears didn't come, so I just said, "Lord, please help me in all of this!"  Then it was off to "work". 

The next day went so smoothly regarding the things that I had to get sorted out that only my Father could have been at the bottom of it all!  How grateful I am to Him for His love and care for me.

Today has been a day to decompress, spend time with friends, and just think through and make lists concerning what still needs to happen.  The highlight of the day was a call from an old student from Woodstock who was calling from Nepal!  So amazing . . . "I knew you wouldn't stay away from S. Asia for too long.  It's in your blood.  Kolkata really isn't that far from Kathmandu.  You really must come and see us."  (I lived with his grandmother when I first went to Kathmandu in 1970!!!)
