It feels surreal... in 2 days our life will have a major change... who knows what the future will hold? Maybe it feels surreal because I am currently in the reality of trying to figure out how to transport all our stuff from point A to point B... strange questions come up... like "should we wait to transport the fridge until we have power?" or maybe we should just ask the neighbor to plug our fridge into their power until we get ours? It's hard to know what to get rid of and what to keep.... who knows if we will need it later or not?
The other hard part is just the hard reality of how difficult the next few months will be... July will be me going back and forth to Davao for my shifts... gathering the last odds/ends from the house as I go... doing grocery runs, etc... while Joe sets up the house there... (with all the kids of course). Then in August Tonia, Joziah and I fly to Oregon for me to take the NARM (midwifery board exam), then to Oklahoma to visit my sister for a few weeks before hopefully heading back here in September.... then the clinic set up will begin in earnest!
Joe's only been gone 2 days on this trip and already I'm thinking this arrangement stinks! I know we've done it before (when we both took trips to Africa for extended times)... but I still think it stinks! Forgive the whining... I just wish that there was an 'easy' answer... but I know that good things in life certainly don't come easy! Your prayers are coveted as we head off on this unknown journey into whatever God has in store for our family.
