Is there anything worse than watching strangers paw through your things and offering you a quarter for something you saved for months in order to buy? Welcome to Garage Sale Purgatory!!!!!
Blech!
After what feels like years in preperation, the house is on the market. Rotten wood has been replaced. Walls have been painted. New carpet has been laid and now our worldly posessions are being sold for a fraction of their monitary and sentimental value. Ain't the life of a missionary grand?
But seriously. In a few months I will be writing about the cold days, eating borsht, and walking two miles in the snow (uphill both ways) to get to the metro station. Ain't the life of a missionary grand?
No, but really now. We are getting excited about all that God has planned for us. And, we know that He has a special someone picked out to buy the house...someone who will love it like we have and we hope it will be a blessing to them.
Tuesday was a fun day, we drove to Orlando to spend the day at Wet 'n Wild with the kiddos. After a day of fun in the sun we drove over to the Disney resorts to spend the evening with Robert and Elaine Rierson and their two boys. They are IMB Missionaries who will serve in Hungary and go throug their orientation with us in August. And, even though they root for the totally wrong team, they are from the great state of Oklahoma, so we like them even better. (Boomer Sooner!)
June is going to be another busy month for us. In addition to selling the house and the huge list of IMB things we need to get taken care of, we are taking an eight day vacation to Warm Springs and Pine Mountain, GA. That is a very special place for us because in addition to being a place where we can physically relax, it is a place of spiritual renewal as well. We hope to visit the church in Warm Springs where I served as the Youth Minister for a year early in our marriage and to see some of the dear people who supported us during that time.
Well, the list of things that I have to do today is not getting any shorter the longer I sit here and write, so I will be off.
Blessings to all,
Marc
