50 Days

 In 50 days I'm supposed to be ready to get on a jet plane and fly to North Carolina.  Whew.  The list of crazy things to take care of before we can leave the country just got a little longer with the results of a recent eye exam for Byron. 

I have to say that I was feeling a little dizzy last week!  But I'm working on faith and trust.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

My "paths:"

Gotta get cataract surgery, two to be exact in the next 50 days.

Gotta get ready for a missions team of three basketball players coming in 22 days for a two week stay.  Yes, I plan to put them to work.

Gotta go to a weekend conference in another state in 3 days, and hurry back for the first eye surgery.

Gotta get the house ready for a live-in pet sitter, and settle all the details.

Gotta get the documents for a future church property.

Gotta get preliminary repair work done of a house for a future missionary.

Gotta get the new grated fencing up to keep the dogs in the back yard and make our house more secure.

Gotta clean out the rental house in Lage and get ready to move to another building.

Gotta prep lessons for the next 6 weeks.

Gotta pack my bags and buy a few gifts.

Gotta eat and breathe in the meantime.

Gotta do this and gotta do that.  This is just an extra "gotta" to cover all I may have forgotten.

Sometimes the lists just seem too long and too complicated.  But I must remember that God is indeed in control and His timing to best.  My prayer is to feel confidant that He is working all things out and that we have the wisdom to know what to leave for later and what to take care of now.
