We have just five (kham-sah in Arabic) more days in the US. Our schedule has been crazy but we have been blessed with some great visits with friends, including time at the Journey, and have accomplished so much.
Here are some things we could use prayer for:
1. Travel Mercies - Our flights are 1 hour, 9 hours and 4 hours. Layovers vary from 2 to four hours. It looks like we will have 12 suitcases, 6 carry-ons, 4-5 backpacks, a stroller and a car seat. We need ticketing agents and baggage handlers that are full of GRACE and PATIENCE.
2. Last Minute Details - There are still some things from legal documents to shopping to visiting friends and family that must be done. If time could move a little bit slower the next few days that would be wonderful!
3. Transition into New Community - Particularly the kids starting school a week from Monday and quick language acquisition for everyone.
4. Relationships - We can't wait to build new friendships but we need also want to make sure our marriage and family stays strong. If we're still on speaking terms after our flights we should be in good shape. :)
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
