Cora and I are leaving soon for Michigan. We will be gone 2.5 weeks and I'm starting to realize how long that is! It dawned on me the other day that Brad will probably be eating mac'n'cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches and Burger King for 2 and a half weeks! That didn't sit well with me so I decided to try to pre-make some real meals for him that he can just throw in the oven or microwave, rather than going through the drive-thru. So as I started planning meals and making a grocery list, I realized how much work it would me to make 2 weeks worth of meals ahead of time...so he will be eating some frozen pizzas, mac'n'cheese and grilled cheese. But at least it won't be every night.
Please pray for a smooth, safe flight for us! I have some special things planned for Cora on the plane, but I know it's going to be a long flight from Denver to GR. She probably won't sleep for two reasons: she generally doesn't sleep if there are people around, and we arrive in GR at the beginning of nap-time. Out of luck, there!
My good friends here have been letting me know, in no uncertain terms, that 2.5 weeks is a really long time to be gone! They sure make me feel loved.
Lastly, please pray for our church. Our pastor just announced that he's accepting a call to a different church. New Life doesn't have any experience in being vacant and searching for a pastor so it will be a growing, stretching experience for the leadership and additional expectations for Brad. The two years in Bellflower without a pastor were really, really hard, so I'm not looking forward to this next stage in our church's life!
Hey Kristen, I will be praying for you girls as you travel. We've flown a lot with Liam but I really don't have any good advice. There is a stage when it's the toughest and unfortunately it's right about now. Last time we flew with Liam it was not easy. But we flew a lot when he was really little and he slept the whoe time. I pray it goes smoothly for you.
ReplyDeleteWe will try to have Brad over for dinner while you're gone. I know Dave would have a tough time making meals for one.
Hope you can update while you're gone. I look forward to pictures of your trip.
