Can you believe it's almost mid-December already? My friend Stik made a comment a couple weeks ago that this is the time of year when everything accelerates.
I've been answering questions, especially at Church, all year long about when I'm going back to Ukraine. All year long the answer has been in "x" months. Now...it's in less than a month! And really, I'm leaving my "home" with Stik and my new (as of this past summer) Church sometime next week so now when some of the kids ask when I'm leaving, the answer is "next week". As much as I'm looking forward to going back to Ukraine, it doesn't get any easier to say goodbye!
Lord willing I will fly from Atlanta a few days after the Passion Conference (Jan 2-5).
I'm still raising support but I've reached a level that I can live on. Additional monthly support that might come in before the end of the year will allow me to increase both my Personal Salary and my Ministry Budget. One-time gifts will go toward a fund to eventually purchase a used car/minivan.
Speaking of cars. My Jeeps are for sale. I've listed the Wrangler on Craigslist in Jackson (and will probably add it to some other sites this week). http://jackson.craigslist.org/cto/2743035647.html
This is a big prayer request- that at least one of them sells before I leave. I've been blessed to have a place to live (without moving in with parents) and I've been blessed to have work but it's been a level of income that didn't really cover all the bills so selling the Jeeps will allow me to terminate Insurance payments and pay off other debts before going overseas.
