an air trip!

as i sit here (in between making hot chocolate for the kids and loving on silas) i am beginning to become excited and overwhelmed at the same time about our next few weeks. monday we begin our air trip. i think i just made that up. instead of road trip it is an air trip... hehehe

anyways as i am writing this i am listening to my favorite group Selah. the song is Precious Lord take my hand/just a closer walk with thee. what a great song! the past week has been really trying for us here and now as i sit here and listen to this song i am encouraged. Take my hand Lord! lead me home. lead me to you, everyday! if only i would grab onto that hand everyday. humm now there's a thought. daily walking with the lord, that's what it's suppose to be about... right?

as i think about what life will be like while we are in the states, today all i can think about is the rest i need. i think that sometimes i get caught up in the different life that i live here that i forget why i am doing it. I need to spend some time away and regroup.:) once again don't read too much in what i am saying.. k!
i am just saying i think it is easier to find that resting place when you are not faced with lots of unknowns. (of this different life i am talking about). even Jesus needed to get away!

Jesus Walks on the Water
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

My hope for our home assignment is that I (we) can have a time of rest with our Lord. To regroup if you know what i mean.

until then my prayer today is.... lord deliver me! when i feel like i can't make it through the day, deliver me. when i feel like the road is straight and things are going well keep me holding on to your hand.

okay love all yall and remember.... xddbfdbxvbfgnfscvcdbnd vdvcvv - that was from Silas!
