Looking for Green

It is springtime, which around here means mud, but each of us is looking for the sign that warmer weather is on the way. We are looking for buds on the trees, green grass, and  crocus leaves poking out of the ground. We want to see GREEN. I guess maybe that is why I made my chart green. Just like the seeker of spring, I am looking to see more and more green.

Each green number on the chart below represents a supporter and the number is the amount they are giving monthly. The black numbers are still in need of monthly supporters. Once the chart turns green I can move to my new home overseas. Would you like to be a monthly supporter and turn a number green? The yellow number is half way to being green - it means it has a supporter that is covering some of the whole amount. (For those of you that have been following my "envelopes", the green represents the envelopes that have been taken.)

I'll keep this chart updated so that you can follow along with the progress. My hope is that by the time the time the lush green of summer has arrived - my chart will be completely green as well so that I can pack up and move.

Where You go, I'll go

I had no idea at 17 how the course of my life would shift when I told Him that I would go wherever He led me. I thought I would spend my life teaching here, not teaching English overseas. I thought that I would speak English and only English. I never dreamed of actually learning a second language. Is He crazy? Doesn't He remember what a hard time I had learning to read my own language? How will I ever learn to read a second one? Do I ever feel like giving up and just doing it my way? Yup, at times I do. But I am not going back on my promise. I told Him that I would follow, so how can I do anything different. He has been faithful to me throughout my life and faithful to us throughout history. He can be trusted. So here I go. "Where You go, I'll go ~ where You stay, I'll stay ~ when You move, I'll move ~ I will follow. ~ All Your ways are good ~ all Your ways are sure ~ I will trust in You alone ~ higher than my side ~ high above my life ~ I will trust in You alone ~ where You go, I'll go..." The journey is on! Will you join me?
