6 Days

We're 6 days away from moving. 6 days away from becoming residents of the bay area. 6 days away from finally having a dishwasher. 6 days away from having our own backyard. 6 days away from being completely on our own. 6 days away from leaving family and friends and basically starting over... 6 days away from our new adventure!
People keep asking me how I feel about it, and honestly I'm so excited and anxious. I want to move already. At the same time though, I'm having a hard time with the idea of leaving people, especially my parents and my church family. I know God is going to bring people into our lives, people that will bless us in many ways. I just wish I could just bring everyone with me:)

Intercession

Hi Margaret,
In praying for you and your family, the Lord has shown me a beautiful image of you and Leif reaching out to those whom the church normally would not. That is powerful for the Kingdom of God and a ministry in great need. Keep seeking Him for your calling in Christ Jesus.

Last night someone sent me this message and it really meant a lot to me. First, that someone was praying specifically for Leif and I, and that God put this on their heart. And second, that He has a plan for us. Ever since we found out about Monterey I felt like God was leading us there to do something great for His Kingdom.

Continue to pray.

Hallelujah!
I love this picture so much.
I feel like it says so much about my relationship with Leif
&the love we share.
I'm happy I get to serve God with him.

Packing Party

So I got this idea to have a Packing Party from my friend Megan, and I thought what a good way to get some packing done and over with! Well between 4-12 last night we had folks coming and out, there was a lot of eating, wine-drinking, and socializing. Not one box got packed:) I wasn't bummed about it though because I got to spend time with my favorite people and I'm not really sure when that will happen again.

Here are some pictures from last night:











Thanks to everyone who came out:) I'm sorry we didn't snap pictures of everyone, eek. Next time!

Pish on Packing.

I hate packing! I especially hate it because I'm doing the majority of it alone. See that pile there? That's a lot to me... And I was so proud of myself but then I walked through my apartment and got that sinking feeling. I was no where near being done.

Lucky for me I'm having a packing party tonight so hopefully that will make a difference:) And this is helping me get through the day: Black Cab Sessions. Its a website that features different bands playing in black cabs in the UK. Its one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen. Go check it out, you'll be happy you did.

By the way: HAPPY JUNE! Celebrate by having a picnic, going to the beach, swimming, having a bbq... You know summer things:) Welcome this month right!
