Leaving on a jet plane...

...don't know when I'll be back again. Sorry for the lame intro. When I went to the web to look for a jet plane image, included in the images was a picture of the sheet music to that song. And I couldn't get it out of my head.

I'm leaving the Denver area on Saturday. I fly to Detroit to spend a few days with friends and then on to Spain next week. I have been experiencing a lot of apprehension the last couple of weeks, mostly because I am going back to Spain alone. (Jon and Kathy will be staying in the States for another two months.) I know this time will be good for language acquisition (when you don't have English-speaking teammates to speak to, you're sort of forced to speak the local language) and it will be a great time to depend on the Lord and grow in my relationship with Him.

I have had people praying for me, and with me, in recent days regarding this issue and I am encouraged. I know the Lord goes with me and He is preparing the way for me. I'll blog again as soon as I arrive in Spain and let you know how things are going. Thanks for your prayers!

Coming back after all my time in the States did wonderful things for my language! I am still thinking about Christmas!!! I just need to know where to fly to. . . :)

I'm sorry I didn't see you one last time ... or say goodbye the last time I saw you!

We'll continue to pray for you and yes, enjoy the challenge of the language again!
