White Knuckles

It was just starting to get a little dark out. My son, all of 5 at the time, in his Zurg costume and candy bucket in hand, said softly under his breath, “I just love when exciting things are about to happen!!”

 

Listening to each click and feeling the coaster jump a little higher with every jerk, climbing to the top of the steepest point of the track! About to bust with emotion, and a lot of adrenaline, we are holding on with white knuckles as the year of our mission to Bolivia is about to begin. The count down to July 8, 2013 is quickly approaching. 

 

So many bittersweet moments fill our days, each with a loud click…buying our one-way airline tickets, officially withdrawing the boys from school, goodbye parties, vision meetings, coffee and lunches with dear friends, sleepovers and movie nights, Mike’s last day of work, saying goodbye to dv8, family gatherings, and being lifted in prayer by so many pillars of faith! All of these moments take our breath away, yet we are filled with excitement for what God has in store. We are praying continually, focusing on one step at a time in faith, saying under our breath “I just love when exciting things are about to happen!!” Count down: 35 days!! boliviabound (Kim)
