It's amazing how God works!

YES! It's amazing how God works!

I have been contemplating whether or not I would continue forward with this new adventure. The reason behind my uncertainty stemmed from the diminishing health of my parents. They both have been battling cancer for several years now. They have had good day and some bad ones. This summer their health began to get progressively worst. First it was my dad then my mom. Because of this, I was not comfortable going so far away from home. I worried a lot about where I would be when God called them home. 

Well, like I said above "It's amazing how God works". On June 3, 2013, my dad was called home to be with the Lord. Then on July 10, 2013 my mom was called home as well. Be situations that left me wavering my decision to go have been solved. God worked it all out in His infinite wisdom. Prayer works and being faithful, leaning not on my own understanding and believing in His infinite power I am able to be relieved of the stress of leaving my ill parents behind. Now I can begin this journey with a clear mind and conscious. All Glory given to God!

So if I made the first "travel" cut, I have approximately 21 days before my departure. God knows I haven't packed a thing. I have so much to do in the next few days.
