The hard good-byes are upon me. Today, I say good-bye to our house - our home. After today, we will be a homeless family for about 4 months relying on the hospitality of family and friends. This is one of the hardest good-byes because it means giving up a certain level of independence. I absolutely love the feeling of being home and doing my own thing. From now on, I’ll have to make sure that our family’s plans are not intrusive to the others that we are living with.
I’m also saying good-bye temporarily to blogging in the style that I prefer. (Often and with photos!) We are having computer troubles. (It’s a long, boring story) Along with the computer stuff, I’ll have the challenge of Internet access while traveling. I have a bunch of pictures that I really want to post, but will be unable to for awhile. So, please bear with me during this transitional season. I promise to post as often as I can to let you know what’s up so you can be praying for my family during this stressful, exciting, sad, joyful transition!!!
I love you, Tracey, and am praying for you guys today as you say goodbye to your house — I know the next few months will be hard in a lot of ways. I am praying for you what Louise prayed for me as I left Togo — that you would feel less *pain* throughout the transition and more peace, especially in the goodbyes — that you would feel like you left well and had good closure on all accounts. God will be faithful to walk beside you all and to lead you through the next months.
Thanks so much for your prayers, Sandi! I am encouraged and uplifted to know that you and so many others are praying for us. The past few days have been really good! Not much “pain”. Love you!!!
You can come here and use my computer!! Looking forward to seeing you this summer. You will be in our prayers. We love all of you.

It looks like our visit will have to wait until the fall! The weekend that we wanted to come is VBS or something at Riverchase. I’m so sad that I’ll have to wait!
Love you!! T
You’ll be in my prayers during this time of transition! Think of all the catch-up blogging you’ll be able to enjoy in a few months.
Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you in all of these transitions. Togo will be part of you for the rest of your life while God plants you in new soils. Jeff
