Preparations

Well, the Meadows are in a time of preparation.

So far, so good on the house. Everything seems to be falling into place, and if that continues to be true, we'll be closing on July 16 (less than two weeks!). We had a very successful yard sale at Mom and Dad's this weekend--the proceeds of which are going to be a huge help as we move forward in the closing process. Thanks to our families and friends who helped, we couldn't have done it without you!

But equally as close and in need of preparation is our trip to Africa. I can't believe it's actually this close. We'll be leaving on July 21. Oh my, that's soon. And it's hard not to be so consumed by the new house that we fail to give adequate attention to our hearts and faith as we get ready for this incredible experience in Lesotho. In the midst of boxes, newspaper, and general chaos in the apartment, I'm finding it valuable and challenging to carve out space to listen to God, the activity I think would be most beneficial as we prepare for the trip.

Would you pray for Duncan and me? Pray that we can keep it all together over the next month, and that we can tune out the chaos and listen for the Spirit.

We're also collecting art supplies for the art camp we'll be helping lead. Here's the list of what we're looking for: markers, crayons, watercolor paints and paintbrushes, colored pencils, number two pencils, pencil sharpeners, ribbon, watercolor paper, construction paper, glue sticks, and child scissors (think of your elementary school art class for ideas!). If you might be willing to give any of these items, please let me know and I'll come pick them up! To buy one (or one pack) of each of these would cost less than $25. It's an easy, inexpensive, and fun way to share love with a child.

Thanks for all your prayers and support!
