hello,
we are approximately two and a half weeks out from our flight to Mongolia. there is plenty of scrambling around our house as we try to prepare it to be empty for two months. there's also a lot of prepping and planning for the departure of all four of us. so much to do.
in the midst of it all I'm trying to stay in that sweet spot with Jesus where I can run easily with my anxiety, fears, joys, questions, hopes, and learning. to be teachable at his feet, open to continuing opportunities, present in relationships, and avoiding self-protection. I am grateful for so much that he has done in me in the past five years. the differences are so clear to me.
I keep rolling over in my mind all that he has done in the past 3 months since we received the call that there was an opportunity to go to Mongolia. over $9500 donated, housing for my sons, all the on the ground details in UB, plane tickets, and so many other myriad details. It is stunning to me all that he has orchestrated and provided.
I am most excited to just be in UB with Chas. this place that I have thought about and talked with God about so much in the past 5 years. I am deeply looking forward to what God has to show us there. I don't expect it to be pleasant, but I am expecting to be moved. the predisposition he has placed in us is toward helping hurting teens and others in abused lives. it is a mystery to me that he would redeem our past hurts in this way, but it is obvious none the less.
thank you for your prayers and support,
praying the Lord blesses and keeps you,
Jean n Chas
