40 Days until we leave!!

WOW, 40 Days until we leave!! Sometimes I think it is not coming soon enough, like when I am driving, but most of the time I feel overwhelmed with how much there is do to prepare and yet I don't want to be so consumed by the packing and stuff that I miss the whole reason we are here. I am behind on so much that I intended on doing this covenant term that I need to do but short termers syndrome is also hitting hard too.

The next few weeks will be busy with women's retreat and meetings and holidays in addition to our regular schedule and trying to get into the schools even a little. There is SUCH a wide range of emotions-
  • Have I shared all I can about Jesus?
  • Will these people even miss me when when I am gone?
  • Do they care that I've been here?
  • Have I made any difference, eternal or otherwise?
  • How will things be with family and friends in the states?!?!
  • How will I adjust?
  • How will the children adjust to leaving?
  • Am I doing enough to prepare them to leave here and to enter the States?
So many questions with no real answers, at least no comforting ones.

Help me Lord to look to you for the answers, not my emotions nor the father of lies. Let me see You at work and give me wisdom in how to join you.
