Ready, Set, GO!!!

Well, I am ready. I started feeling this way when a group of friends gave us a going away party last friday. All the month of June people have been asking me if I was packing or getting ready. All the month of June I have been making the most of my time to enjoy our last days here and to spend time with lots of friends. Just a week ago did I think to myself - it is time.
We have now two more days and then we drive down. I would ask for your prayers for safety on the road (so my tears wont blur my vision - ha ha!) and that the boys will do fine. I have done all I can to prepare them and I think they are very aware of what is going to happen, they just have no clue the feelings that may (probably) occur once all is said and done.
I am excited! We have felt God's love thru the people in our lives. They are on board with us, they believe in us, they inquire, they love us with good food and gifts...etc. It is an honor to be on this journey.
I am also exhausted...physically, emotionally, and mentally. I have been asking God for strength alot this past week. I am also trying hard not to dwell on what wont be but what will be. I am pressing on to what is ahead and so grateful for ALL my friends.

Allison, I have walked in your shoes and have felt the emotional roller coaster you are on. My prayers are with you. We are excited to have you stop over here for two days. We look forward to loving on you and encouraging you. We have some fun things in mind for the boys to do! If they are feeling sad we will cheer them right up with some fun! We love you guys!

As exciting as this is you can't help but have "those" feelings. I can't wait to hear what the Lord does. The church plant was mentioned in church this weekend!!
