 One week from today, Lord willing, I'll be somewhere over the Atlantic. It has been a rich and intense past few weeks. On Saturday I received my passport upon my request (without visa), so the plan is to travel on a tourist permit and hopefully complete the visa process in Prague. This introduces a few wrinkles and some added expenses, but hopefully nothing insurmountable, and at least I can travel as planned. My house is now completely empty. The estate sale team cleared it out completely, and now it's just a big, empty old house that smells kinda funny. It's hard to put into words just how surreal it is to walk through this echo-y, empty home. I've gone past the point of no return. It's getting listed, and this Saturday is the first open house. I feel like I just got on the roller coaster--the bar has closed, and we're moving down the track and starting to climb that first rise. Ain't no getting off now! I am strangely calm. I have my moments, sure, but there's a certain settledness and peace that has been unexpected. So...here we go! God has proven himself faithful in ways too numerous to count. My prevailing emotion has been one of gratitude.
I've been so incredibly blessed by the generosity of so many people. Overwhelmingly blessed. As of this writing, I've got only about $250 per month still remaining to reach my full support of $5000 per month.
