It's Getting Closer

Today I met the family. The kids were adorable, as expected. They sat at the table and for 3 years old were very well behaved. All three were pretty quiet, I figure I will see the louder side of them before I know it. Patty, my Mom boss (MB) keeps saying how she is amazed at how God has provided for her (me!) and I am more and more convinced of the same.

I admit, I am nervous. The longest conscecutive time I have ever been away from people I know is 5 weeks, much less than a year. I don't know how this is not God putting this opportunity in my life but Debbie Doubter in me keeps this fear that the whole thing is going to be terrible and I can't believe I took this job, etc.... Like I said, the Devil. Since "the call"
( I may refer to this often as it was an important part of my life so let me explain. "The call" as I refer to it, is the call I got from Campus Crusade telling me that I'm "not ready" to go on staff. You can probably tell that I don't believe that and am quite frankly angry about it. ) Anyway, since "the call" I have had a hard time with the Devil. He's getting to me and it has been very hard for me to combat this spiritual warfare. I guess I have almost been trying to ignore it, and I've gotten pretty good but I know I can't do that forever. One day, probably when I am very busy with the kids, it will really get to me but I will have to deal.

I will be moving down there on August 12. I will have one whole day with the summer Nanny and then 3 days over the weekend with the family before I start. Then I will have about a week of summer before school starts and the whole schedule changes!

That's about all I've got for now. Next, probably my thoughts on finding a church by myself. Another topic that makes me nervous : )
