Off We Go!
We may be pulling an "all-nighter" getting ready, but it appears we're actually going to do this thing...this Moldova thing.
Of course, Amy is not yet packed, and we've got to get a few extraneous details taken care of - some business stuff and some dog stuff (our Veterinarian offered to kennel our dogs for half price, and since Shell is starting a new job with undetermined hours, we are opting to take advantage of his generosity).
In less than 11 hours we'll be meeting our "team" at the airport and actually begin this new season of our lives.
It's been a long time coming, and we couldn't be making this journey without the prayers, encouragement and financial support we've received from so many of you.
We can not thank you enough.
This will be my final post for a while I suspect, however I did remember that I can "email" a post to the blog. I'm still uncertain of the computer/internet access we'll have in Moldova, but I think I'll be able to at least send out an email.
I've tested the email posting feature and it works - sort of. The formatting is a little awkward and it doesn't appear to allow me to publish photographs, but if nothing else, I hope to dash off a quick note saying, "We made it!"
It's going to be hectic for a while, and I'm sure the travel is going to tax our patience and probably our nerves a little...but we feel safe in God's will, and trust that He is guiding us.
I know Amy and I made this trip our "Goal" nearly a year ago, yet now it seems like it's come upon us so quickly.
But we're ready.
Please know that in addition to the bunch of "stuff" we are taking to the children in Moldova, we are also carrying the many blessings we have received from you.
I pray we can be good stewards of so many warm, generous and loving hearts.
Off we go! Next stop...Moldova!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Michael and Amy!! I'll be praying for you and anxiously awaiting any kind of up date you can send. Here's something interesting...
I just checked my email and found an email from a friend, asking me to consider going to Moldova in April to minster to some women there. Interesting. Very interesting...
Go with God. You will both be in my daily prayers . Happy New Year!
Doug and I now have as a goal to go on a missions trip together--something neither of us has ever done, alone or as a couple. You have inspired us! May God lead your every step.

Katy,
You and Doug should DEFINATELY attempt a mission trip. We've never met, but we know your hearts, we see them thru your writings, your SOOO encouraging emails, and the blessings you call "your children."
Such hearts are needed...in many places.
Perhaps one day, all four of us can coordinate a mission trip together. Believe me what's needed most is what's already inside both of you.
Grace & Peace,
Michael
