We are finally packed. Our hope is to be in bed by 11pm - and maybe sleep. We are so thankful to Charles and Shirley for getting us to the airport. Our flight leaves for Atlanta at 10:46am. We should be landing in Russia around 2 or 3am on Saturday (11am on Saturday Russia-time)
Tonight I leave you with a quote we received from one of Gary Henry's articles that really hit home for Carl and me:
"Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart. There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God. Our insistence upon seeing ahead is a real hindrance to our spiritual progress. God has charged himself with full responsibility for our eternal happiness and stands ready to take over the management of our lives the moment we turn to Him." (A.W. Tozier)
Good night.

Oh, I forgot to tell you to take some Ambien for your first night in Russia. If you didn't bring any you might take a sip or two of some wine to help you sleep. I liked the quote and it's so true. Our plans are not His and when we obey we discover how faithful and awesome our God is. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteHope your trip is going good. We love you and are sending up a lot of prayers. Grandmother sends her love, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mike! We've got our Ambien! And I will probably need to partake tonight!
