did you know

tomorrow (which is already today in some parts of the world) people are celebrating the ascension of Jesus. i was so surprised when i moved overseas wondering why i never knew about that day... why i've been to church all my life but never once took that day and remembered it to be the day the Lord ascended into heaven. that was a remarkable day... and again i'm in the states and hat to be reminded by a facebook message from a friend from overseas. he wrote about this day to me and again i'm astonished that no one here has even mentioned it. the embassy i was at today (to pick up my visa PTL) is taking tomorrow off because their country takes the day off for it... interesting huh?

today i started to pack again after coming back from being with family. i'm glad friends came over for dessert and kept me company. 2 weeks and 6 days... can you believe it? time is flying by so fast. i'll be there in no time.

was with RB and TB today and realizing how hard it is going to be... coming home to my parents watching A and knowing even that is coming to an end... then going to SR's house and realizing how much i'm going to miss her and her kids and all the fun things we did together. ugh... calling KS when i needed someone to talk to... talking on the phone with AH and her harassing me to stay then acting like she doesn't care (i love you girl). having MR and BR come and play with A and realizing what they have meant to her and me too of course. talking to TB and getting excited about going back... there are a lot more, but this is just from today.

today we set up the scholorship in P's name at his school. that was a pretty emotional time... thanks to all those who gave. it is such a blessing to be able to do that. A talks about going to daddy's school when she grows up...

i feel like i've been all over the board on this entry... i'm tired. need to sleep.

please pray for A and i as our days come to a close. pray for good rest (especially that A will stay in her room through the night).
