Trying not to FREAK out!

Today was the day it all started feeling really real to me. I mean it's always felt real but you know that feeling before something big? I'm getting really excited. The kids and I sat on the couch last night watching youtube videos of the orphanage we are going to visit. Bailey said, "Mom, can we adopt one?"

Uh...

Anyway, today we had a Haiti Team Meeting after church and when I came in the Ministry Center, I was amazed at what I saw. The room was packed full of donations for the kids at Danitas Children. We have such generous, big hearted people at Crossroads. They gave us a small list at first and then Sean said, please give us a bigger one and boy did they. I even ran into a lady at Wal-mart holding the list today.

It's amazing to be a part of a group of people who are doing something outside our little Vacaville bubble. Our church really has a heart for missions and I can literally see that with the support, prayers and donations that have come in. I really feel blessed God is allowing me to go here.

On to my list of things to do before I leave:

Finish our Living Will
pray
Buy hand sanitizer
Try not to freak out
Send my kids off to school this week
pray
Get my second Hep shot
Tell my kids I love them
pray
Start school myself
Try not to freak out
Pack
Leave details instructions and emergency contacts for my sisters
pray
Try not to forget anything and TRY NOT TO FREAK OUT!
