INTO THE PATIENT WAITING...

It looks like we have 10 hours left Until our Europe adventure begins!!! We've already had one minor blip in the trip...Kelly left her heavy jacket in the Wichita airport- when we found out about it, we were already in Atlanta :-( sadness!!!!! Thankfully they found it and no one had stolen it! Praise the LORD! Kel and I are so excited to just travel together and relax together on this vacation. We want to keep all of you readers up-to-date on our adventure, so we'll try and post every night or afternoon. We are excited to read a book together titled "Jacobs Dozen" which a prophetic book on the 12 tribes of Israel. We're also looking forward to reading some Francis Chan books and just to challenge each other to DIG into God's Word and to know Him more. May the travels begin!!! Sent from my iPhone
