I should be working on packing, but frankly, I'm quite sick of it! We have a weekend full of goodbye parties with family and friends, so we're really running out of time to finish packing. Yesterday we went out for lunch with my dad before he and my mom left for a weekend of fishing at Lake Erie. Today we went out for lunch with Grandpa and Pat and tonight we're having a cookout at Mike's house with friends. Tomorrow we're going to Binder Zoo with Tiff/Joe and kids and Heather and Austin. Sunday we are going to Josh's aunt and uncle's house for a cookout with the Schnittker side of the family. Monday we are going to Tiff/Joe's house for lunch with the Goeman's. Tuesday we pack the truck, and Wednesday we leave!
It's been very difficult to say goodbye to everyone and it's hard to leave, but this will be good for us. God has called Josh to serve him in the Marine Corps and we know he only has plans to prosper us and not to harm us and he will bless us for following his call.
"I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands!
You are who you are,
no matter where I am!
Every tear that falls,
You hold in your hand.
Though my heart is torn,
I will praise you in this storm."
(Casting Crowns)
