Are We There Yet?
Reflections on the journey...
We both have fond memories of childhood road trips and the happy anticipation of finally arriving at some out of the way fishing hole or a family gathering! We would periodically ask our parents, "are we there yet?" The question was not out of boredom. We loved the ride as much as the destination! The sights along the way, people we met, and occasional unplanned detours are memories we cherish. But we still wanted to know that our endpoint was near.
In our journey to full-time missions, we continually have our hearts and minds fixed on the ultimate goal of finally living and serving in Romania. But, as we have traveled through the steps of preparing to go, the Lord has taught us valuable lessons. He has shaped and molded our hearts and placed many, many wonderful people in our lives! We would not trade the time spent on this journey for anything!
We have relocated to a furnished guest house near Denton. Most of our remaining belongings are packed and ready to ship as soon as God says go! While we are not there yet, arrival at our destination is in sight.
Please pray with us as we go through the final months of preparations. We hope to be fully supported and ready to move to Romania in early 2011.
Are we there yet? Not quite, but we don't want to miss a single moment of this beautiful ride.

no purpose of yours can be thwarted." Job 42:2
