FOUR DAYS!



We leave in four days. Just four days. Can you believe it? I'm not sure I can.

So, am I ready, you ask. Ummm, strangely, I think I am. Yes, I have a few errands left to run, but overall, I think I am ready.

If you know me at all, you would realize how huge this is. Organization is my weakest point. But, you know what? I've been praying for God to change me. If I'm made in His image, then I am made to be organized. I mean, just look around you. He is the ultimate organizer. And the Bible says "Ask and it shall be given unto you." So, I asked. And He has not let me down.


This morning I made a list of things that need to be done in the next four days. My list mostly consists of errands and cleaning chores, but you'd be surprised to know that I even have a social event every day until Sunday. Crazy, right??

So, if all goes well, I will leave my house clean, so that I can come home to it clean. I will be packed on Friday night so that we can enjoy our children this weekend and even make it to church on Sunday morning. And I will be able to relax on the plane knowing everything is in order for my sister, who is keeping my kiddos, and my mom, who is caring for my pets.

Feels so good. Praying this organization lasts longer than this week.

Oh, we have been praying for you! I can not imagine the details involved with such a trip! Saturday will be our "in real life" book sale. I'll drop you a note letting you know how we did! Do you plan on blogging pics during your trip or afterward?

Oh, we will definitely be posting updates and pics during our trip. Ginger would kill me if we didn't! Luckily, we have wifi in our hotel room.

Can't wait to hear about the book sale! Thank you!

So excited for you guys! Praying for safe travels and everything to go well!
Oh another toy I thought of is a beach ball, deflated for travel but tons of fun when blown up.
Can't wait to see pics of the visit!
Blessings friend, enjoy!
