So for the past 2 days I have cried, packed, prepared meals, lists, and watched my kids play and dream.
This is ALWAYS the hardest part, saying good by to my little ones. They are so wonderful, and I know God gave me my children to colour the world for me, because without them I would live in a very black and white world.
So as I finish up with all the final touches, I am convinced that this may be the last trip for me for a little bit. Saying good bye to the is starting to be to much for me.
God's words however are very powerful in my head right now. Romans 15 (the message)
1-2 Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, and not for status. Each one of us needs to look after the good people around us, asking ourselves, "How can I help"
I am strong in faith...I am a daughter to the most high king, I am a mother that has been given strength and love to carry with me to the hurting children of this world. I will follow God's plan for me and show the world His love and grace.
Then at the end of it all I will hold my two children, and thank God for the wonderful gifts He gave me.
So until then....ladies keep praying.

Bless you my sweet friend.
I will miss you and am looking forward to hearing all about your trip.
Love you lots Alabama!
My prayers are with you always.
The only bad part of my trip to Guatemala was being without my family. It hurt deep inside.
Bless you as you prepare, and leave. And remember the 23 days you are giving of yourself, your family, your children, will be a life changing moment in many other childrens' lives.
Juls, I had no idea you had a blog, so glad I found it. I know that it is going to be difficult leaving the family but the sacrifice will be nothing compared to what you will be doing for the people of Uganda. Looking forward to hearing lots when you get back and I will be praying for you and the team.
Love you and miss you,
Karen
