My state of being at the moment is working great for my employer. I like going to the office because I can put away all this "stuff"and do my job. It's comfortable, clear and I do it well. It's in the morning before work when I'm walking the dogs my mind races, what can I accomplish this day, where will the dogs go and will they be happy, how are our families really feeling about our decision, who is going to want all our "stuff" and lists are taking over my world. When I get home, it's painting, scrubbing, cleaning etc... I keep steering myself back to prayer and guidance. We leave tonight for training and I'm still writing down more and more questions. As I write, I can see how scattered my thoughts are, putting them down helps!
We have been getting such mixed reactions from friends, some are thrilled and others are looking at us like we have lost our minds. Why in the world would we want to quit our jobs, move to Zambia to volunteer our time plus give up all our earthly belongings? That's a hard one to explain to someone who doesn't have God in their lives. It's a great opportunity for us to share our faith and conviction. By sharing with them I think it also strengthens our comittment.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, especially this weekend. Blessings to you!
