The Bags are Packed

I just finished packing the bags for my trip. The reality of it is starting to kick in. I am excited and a little bit nervous... but mostly just excited.

I have been visiting family and old friends the last couple of weeks and it has been really relaxing. It is hard not to relax at least a little bit when you are out in the middle of nowhere on the prairies. I have also had some great quiet times and have experienced God's presence. Apparently, G.S. Mclean used to get his inspiration for his sermons from long walks on the prairies and in the river hills near Eston. I can see why.

Tomorrow I fly to Vancouver and then I fly out to the Philippines on the 18th. I can't wait to get back to North Vancouver for a few more days. I miss my friends, my church, and the trees and mountains. Well, this is my last night with mom and dad for a while, so I better get back to them.
