Not Done Yet!

Well.. we made it :) And our 7 suitcases too! In fact, we were not charged for our 7th piece (only allowed 2-per-person on international flights), so it was a total God-thing :) *"God-thing"= something only God can orchestrate... which is basically everything, but you get the picture*. Anyway, neither of our flights were full either, SO we all had extra seats next to us, meaning a more relaxing trip altogether. Nothing crummy happened- the flights were both great, and my friend picked us up in MSP and whisked us home! Well, actually my Dad drove because my friend and I do a lot of talking, and her husband didn't think she'd be able to concentrate and drive at the same time (HAHAHAAAA)... he was right, I think! All is good :D

The Journey Is NOT Over Yet...

I have been invited back to the Netherlands to help with the upcoming season of FireChoir! Very exciting, and I accepted. This means that I need a couple of visas, more money, and more PRAYER! But, I always need the Prayer, so don't ever stop that!

I'm not sure what my budget will be, but I want to get back asap... so if God leads you to support me in any way, please get ahold of me, and I will tell you how it can be done (IT Can Be Done!). :)

Tot Ziens for now- gotta head back out into the cold (YUCK!). Blessings and Love

December is here!

Happy December 1st!

Well here we are- we survived Thanksgiving and 2 birthdays all within 5 days of each other (we were described as people with "gluttons for punishment" and I think they were right!)! Haha. Wednesday I had several friends over to celebrate my 30th year of life outside of the womb! Then my "Sistah" from Spain (who is also from my home-church back in the States) flew in at 10:30 that night! Thursday was our Thanksgiving celebration-C'tal was here of course, and we also had 6 others come over as well- I think everyone had a great time, even though we had Chicken instead of Turkey! The Pumpkin pie that R&C made was the best I have ever tasted in my life! The apple pie was lekker too! Plus all the other food, heel lekker! We had a grand ol' time :)

Friday wasn't "Black Friday" here in NL... but C'tal and I shopped and shopped and shopped anyway... making up for being out of the US of course :D We had a blast! Saturday we went to Haarlem and Zaanse Schans, a windmill park- and then Sunday it was time to go home! So fast!! But we had a blast! (that rhymed).

Tonight we have our FireChoir party to go to. It'll be sad! But such is life :) Besides... well, more on that later.

OK, that's the quick update for the moment. We are in the process of moving out of the house, so please pray for all our strength and health- extra doses of it all too!

Hugs and Love to all- can't wait to see my MN peeps soon!
