Well, I am through weekend 2 where people know that we are leaving. Sunday was really busy because we had a youth choir called Pathway perform for us in the evening. We had a cookout for the meal before, and then they performed from 6pm to 7pm. It went really well, it was just a lot of work getting everything setup and tore down, and getting everybody where they needed to be.
It was kinda frustrating to be so busy when I would have rather just taken the opportunity to be with some of the good friends we have here. But Mandy and I continue to be very excited about this big move.
I used the opportunity during the high school sunday program to teach and discuss peace. I hadn’t had a good opportunity to have ALL the students together and to talk about the fact that I was leaving so there were definitely some awkward silences. But I think it was a great teaching on how God moves in our lives, and how he wants us to be willing for him to move in our lives in big way. We dissected what peace was, and what it wasn’t; and how often when we don’t have peace it is God trying to get our attention that we are in the wrong place or just need to refocus on him.
Anyways, we are in the middle of “packing week”. Even though our actual move is atleast 3 weeks away we are starting to put things into three piles: Good Will, Going With, and trash. Mandy’s favorite piles are the trash and GoodWill piles cause we are trying to move with as little as possible. Speaking of which, I should really get back to packing before I get caught blogging… ha!~
