Back to it.

I am feeling better today, just cramping some. =( Oh, the womanly curse... which is not consistent for me, except that I took medication to bring it on.

The good news is, even with being sick and not eating as healthy as I could have, I've still maintainted the 2 lb loss. In fact, when I hopped on the scale yesterday and today, it looked more like a 3 lb loss, but I'm not going to declare that until I've had at least four days of that number. My weight fluctuates sometimes, and I don't want to get my hopes up.

I didn't mean for this to become a weight loss/exercise blog, but there's not a whole lot more going on in my life at this point.

We are meeting with Pastor Ben tonight to discuss our trip. Dusty has actually already set us up with our own email accounts at revolutionarylife.org and is sending us emails as if we're already part of the team. I guess he's declaring it, which is great, because it makes me feel more confident about the decision to take the trip. But also scary, because I don't want to let anyone down if something happens and Wesley can't get the full time off from UPS. Dusty understands that we're waiting to send the letter, but I think he's also believing that God will take care of everything and already sees us as a part of the team. So exciting!

It's surreal to think that if we do end up going on the trip, it would broaden so many of the horizons I had before. I will increase the countries I've visited by 400% + since I've only been to two countries. I will see SO much in such a short amount of time. I will be able to pour out SO much in such a short time. And also, since they're already talking and planning with TBN for the show to be on TBN, I will be on t.v., watched by people all around the U.S. They will watch my trials and how we deal with everything and there will probably be some of our breakdowns/culture shock recorded for all to see. How weird is that?

  2. That's so crazy that you would be in a reality show on TBN! I might have to convince Tyson that we need to get TV just so I can watch, unless they plan to post episodes online too, in which case...yay...I will check those out.

    I totally think so much of what you love seems to be wrapped up all in one trip. I hope, if this is God's will, you do take that leap of faith. Even if Wesley doesn't get to take time off from UPS, if this is God's will for you guys...you should do it anyway. It could be that God will have something different for Wesley when you return home (possibly video-ministry-related after his missions experience?).

    How many missionaries will be going, total? Or do you know yet? At first, I thought it was just going to be you, Wesley, Dusty, & Darlene, but it sounds like you guys are compiling a complete missionary team. I'd love to hear more about it / the details if you get time!
