Boxes and Suitcases

If you drop by the house these days, that's what you'll see - boxes and suitcases. As the days are quickly passing by, we are preparing to leave our home behind. We moved into our house when Jacob, now 6 1/2 was only a couple of months old. We have since brought two more Kowalski babies home and have also watched them growing up here. This place holds alot of memories for us - our growing family, the friends who have shared their lives with us, our family who has been so supportive of us. And now, the fluery of activity to pack the lives of five people (including three growing and changing children) and leaving behind what we will not be able to take - giving away, selling, sorting, storing. We ask for your prayers as these are the decisions that have to made throughout the day...we really need wisdom. And please pray that peace would surround our home and our lives as we go through this process. Most of all, it is my prayer that we would be able to take the time to spend with those who mean so much to us, while we still have time left here.

You and Cheryl are doing such a good job with balancing everything that is going on. When Abigail was telling me about where she was going to live, her eyes lit up like Christmas trees. She said Botswana with such enthusiasm that I nearly blew over! Jacob is very outgoing and wanting to share his stories and adventures. A typical boy who is always in the 'now' and extremely bright! He will have lots to draw from on this mission! I bet he will be flying planes before he can drive a car!!! You and the family are continually in our prayers. James is still talking about the raspberries at his uncle's house.....I didn't correct him since we are family in Christ!!
