Walking "It" Out: yes, it's official

“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

yes, it's official

Yes, it is. The countdown clock is set. On Friday, October 31st at 7 am we will be heading to Zambia.

Now the grieving process "officially" begins. Sitting on the couch this morning, it suddenly hit me that the next time all my siblings will be together, it will be to say goodbye for a few years. I just started to cry, as I am now. It's been an emotional morning. A few people at church had seen the blog and asked me about it too. I held it together then, but I could feel the tears welling. I didn't do so good during worship though-cried through most of that.

I've told the siblings and the parents, that are here anyway. Brian was suppose to tell his dad over there, but his mom ended up telling him today on the phone (I guess Brian hadn't done his share yet!)
