As the year (school year that is) wraps up this coming week with finals I wanted to let you know what's going on here...
1) So officially 3 more days of school (finals)
2) I leave for Ethiopia as the faculty sponsor of a mission trip in 12 days (YIKES!)
3) Our deed in lieu will go through with an at most $4K deficit, so we will sign papers when they arrive, hopefully this week.
4) We heard from the IRS with a projected 30 days to clear up the adoption tax credit... with the disclaimer that they'd let us know if it would be longer... come on, please?
5) Jeff is taking 2 classes now toward Ordination, yep looks like being a pastor's wife is in my future, super exciting!
Please pray for peace for me as I make this trip to Ethiopia, more specifically as I leave my kids. I will have minimal (if any) contact with them for 12 days! As much as it will pain me, pray they don't miss me. Pray Jeff and my mom and Jeff's parents, etc. will keep them busy. Pray they do not get overly tired, especially Abi, for this is when she gets particularly emotional about stuff.
Father, you know the other myriad of issues going on in my life right now. You know all the details that need to fall into place for certain aspects of our lives to continue onward. I pray your will be done and soon... if I may request it :) I pray for your peace during all these transitions we are in the midst of. I thank you for your love and your provisions. Amen.
