Counting down. Five weeks from today. So much to do yet. It seems like whenever I take something off the to do list, I wind up adding three more. Work to make as much as I can to have on hand when I get back. Train to get up to 15 miles in one day. Making sure my fam is taken care of while I'm gone. Getting care set up for my FIL, who is declining. Training my replacement at the church. Treating my gear with Permetherin to protect against bedbugs. Making sure all the bills will be paid for 2 months. Getting a GSM phone and a Spanish SIM card. Picking seats on the plane so Cassie & I can sit together on our way home. Purchasing travel insurance. Finishing the last touches on my gear. Whew. It seems endless. It will be easy to get overwhelmed.
Time to slow down and pray. Walking helps me do that, and I'm so grateful for nicer days to accomplish this. I'm asking for everyone else to keep me in your prayers too. Please pray for me as I dive into these last few weeks. Pray for clarity on what NEEDS to be done and what I can let go. Pray for wisdom in decisions on what/what not to bring. Pray for stamina, sanity, and health for me as I work, train, and get everything else done. Please pray for my husband and father-in-law as things get done to help Poppa through his health issues. Pray that I can connect with everyone in my life for at least a little before I leave.
Buen Camino!
