One More Month

We have less than a month left of formation.  Part of me wants to stay in the Mission House longer, soaking in all that I am learning.  Another part of me is getting the itch to leave, to experience what we are hearing about from others who have missioned already.  I am so humbled by how much I  thought I knew coming into the program, compared to how little I actually know.

We are also preparing for Jessica's first communion on May 13.  She is so excited.  She is asking so many good questions and is more attentive during the Mass.  All our kids seem to really get that they are not just going because their parents are going, but that they too have been called.  I have a feeling that I will be learning from them how to settle into our new life in Cameroon.

I have let go of so much, yet how can I condense my life into two suitcases for 3 years?  The process of surrender happens in all kinds of arenas.

God keeps revealing just the tiniest hints of what is around the bend.  I can't wait to experience it for Him and with Him.
