whirl on, dear wind

It's time to face the fact: we're moving back to the USA. Facing it begins tomorrow with the arrival of the movers, then the cleaning, then the goodbyes continue.

A quick few days of holiday (Belgium and then the Ashes) will be our reward for the hard work of the last two weeks and will (hopefully) serve to relieve the stress of the move.

Then, goodbye to England and hello to our homeland.

I praise my God for the opportunity to see a bigger world, and to get to know our British friends (and the Mexican one), and for the lessons we've learned from this temporary lifestyle. God has been good to us.

This morning, I shall endlessly repeat these words from the precious word of God: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6.34

How fitting that as I've been burdened about mentorship this week, I've been re-united with one of my former mentors. Many of my current convictions and even hobbies can be traced directly back to this person. Thank God for mentors!

If you're not a mentor, and if you're not mentored. Take steps to change that.
