It is midnight, tomorrow we leave on our ADVENTURE to Costa Rica. Today has been so emotional. We had dinner tonight with the Strong Tower staff who also happen to be some of our closest friends. When we got home from dinner we had a beautiful folder filled with letters, prayers and scriptures to read on our journey from so many in our faith family. I've watched my kids cry and my kids friends cry because they will miss each other. I can't help but wonder what all Melissa is going through as she also packs what little she has and says good bye to her friends but not just for a little while like us, but forever.
God has shown his goodness in some very tangible ways today as well. I had an amazing experience with a teller at the bank, and with a family in Christ. All of these things wrapped together and even individually make me want to cry tears of joy but I have not shed a single tear....yet. I think I'm afraid if I start to cry I will never stop. I am holding back tears of joy, thankfulness, fear and sadness. I don't know what to expect. I am sad and happy for Melissa. I am hopeful and thankful and exceedingly grateful. I am excited and scared and anxious. Oh all the emotions!
I hope that I will update this blog while we are in Costa Rica so that we can share with everyone what all is happening! I will try my best! Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who is praying! It is much needed and we are so grateful! Oh what a journey this has been!
