18 days and counting

I realized sitting in church yesterday just how close my departure is getting! I realized I only had two more Sundays at my church and then I'd be in another country. I only have 18 more days to spend with my nieces and nephews, friends and family. And then I got to thinking about all the ways God has blessed me in the last couple of weeks. I recently had a tooth break and my dentist said I was going to need a root canal... not on my top 10 list of things to do before leaving for Thailand. Not to mention the cost! My parents suggested I visit their dentist. They told me he would only do the root canal if I REALLY needed it.... and guess what, I didn't. He filled it and said that I wouldn't need a root canal... way less pain... faster recovery and hey... lower cost! God was watching out for me on that one. It's been little things like that where I've seen God work and confirm His hand in my life and His guidance. Thank you all so much for your support and prayers. I can see how, even in the preparing and planning stage God is working and I know that prayer is playing a huge part in it!
