When my son was little and had no concept of time, we counted things by length of Veggie Tales or by "sleeps" (how many more times he had to go to bed before the "thing" happened).
* 3 Veggie Tales and we'll be there
* 8 more sleeps until Grandma and Grandpa get here
* and so on.
Well, we still use sleeps for the Princess. She wants to know how many more until....
*1 more until she gets to see her best friend one last time before we move
*2 more until we see Grandma and Grandpa at the hotel and get to swim
*3 more until the Uncles come
*5 more until "The Great Adventure Begins"! (i.e. the big move across the pond)
It's Wednesday....but Monday's coming. We still have a few more things to take care of and more goodbyes to say (YUCK), but then we're on our way! We are experiencing a plethora of emotions. Many ask, "How are you today?" or "What are you feeling right now?" and the answer is different every time. One time we're ecstatic, then melancholy, then giddy. The over all theme is exhausted. Will we get sleep over there? Who knows? We're not getting much now and doing fine. We're just trying to remember that our number one job (and yours is, too)is to be with Him. Know Him. Trust Him. Talk to Him. Listen to Him. Worship Him. So with that as our focus, the rest ebbs and flows.
Today let me encourage you to "Be with Him" in a way you haven't lately. He's waiting...ever so patiently.

"Captivate us...with You...
Let everything be lost in the shadows of the light of Your face
And let every chain be broken from me as I'm bound in Your grace
Captive us...with You..."
Praying for you daily! Wishing we had had more time together before you left and the years after you moved. I love you dearly!
