We are working on getting our stuff packed and taking care of all of those little details that are involved in moving, and it can be very VERY difficult! In some ways things are easier because we are not keeping very much of what we own, so we don't really have to do anything with those things. We are planning on having an estate sale on May 13 & 14, and selling all of our furniture and most of our belongings. There are some things that we are storing with my parents in Florida, but we really want to limit what we store there, so we are really trying to limit those stored items to things that are REALLY special to us. That leaves us with what we are taking to Honduras with us... 2 boxes per person, no more than 62 linear inches per box. It is very difficult to have to go through all of our things and be discerning about what is really important and necessary, but we're making a lot of progress!
As the time for us to go gets closer (5 weeks!), we are working through our lists of things we need to take care of, and this is all becoming more and more real to all of us. There are times when we are super excited, times when we feel super scared, and other times when we feel super sad about all that we are leaving behind. We have made some wonderful friends here in Omaha, and it will be very difficult to have to leave them and everything that is familiar to us. We have to continually remind ourselves that we are being obedient to God, and that although it's difficult, it is always "worth it" to follow Him.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Hebrews 13:20-21 May the God of peace equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
