Thanksgiving Day, One Week Left

When I booked my travel I only looked at the December calendar. I had no idea that Thanksgiving day would be one week before departure for the Philippines. It is fitting to have such a wonderful holiday to start the final week of being in the United States. It is a time to see the family one more time. 

Over the next week, things will come to a close. I have a youth party the night before I leave. The last bits of packing will be completed and the room I have been in will be placed into eight storage containers. My luggage is ready to go and the final bits of travel details are falling into place.

It is by God’s blessings that everything has happened the way it has. Many of the details of me staying in the Philippines where worked out in hours. Once I was invited to go out there it all fell into place. Many things I had worried about for a couple of years now where taken care of. The big one, where I will be staying. It is a blessing to know that when I land in the Philippines next week I already have a bed and pillow ready for me. That is such a relief knowing that I will be staying with an amazing people and within walking distance of the ministry site. 

I have much to be thankful for today. I am thankful for all my supporters. Your faithfulness has been such an encouragement to me in this entire process. I know each and everyone of you will be blessed more than you can handle. I am thankful for God’s plan. He knows what is best for me and knows the right time for me to do things. He had an amazing plan for me this entire time and even when I ddi not understand what was going on God have everything in control.

I do hope and pray that you and your family have an amazing Thanksgiving holiday. Let us remember that we should not only be thankful during this one day a year but let us be thankful in everything 365 days a year.
