leaving denver

i should be in bed. fran's coming to take me to the airport here in about 7 hours. i need to pack the toiletries i picked up today. i want to put together the perfect playlist for my ipod for the flight to glasgow, but i don't know if i have the energy.

janny, kate & i met to do last minute check-ins. it was good. but i think all of us are exhausted and overwhelmed. and from what i've heard from those we'll be helping out, there is much to do. i'm excited! i get to see dear friends i haven't seen in a year and help them love the people God's called them to. kate & janny don't know these people so i think it's harder for them to be excited. but they know that God has called them to this. we all know that God has called us to this. 'cause He's provided miraculously. 23:59-ly. housing less than a week before we leave. the money working out so we can do everything we want to. so totally God!

throughout this whole process, i was questioning whether God wanted us in glasgow and wondering at how in the world He was gonna pull through. and He does. and He did. 'cause tomorrow morning at 10:48am, we board a plane to glasgow! okay the first one's the philly & the one after that's to glasgow, but you understand :).

pray for us. pray for energy. for rest. for love. right now feels surreal, i fear the next three days will only make it moreso.

and the journey begins. holding tightly to Dad's hand...
