Today was the BIG day.
Rob set off for his journey to Africa.
We woke up early, 2:00 am to be exact.
Drove to the airport and he and Bret got on the plane.
It wasn't to hard to say good-bye this morning. It was harder watching him say good-bye to the kids and even harder getting the text from DC that said, "Boarded. I love you deeply." That one brought some tears. Something about him flying over the ocean for 12 hours is a little un-nerving. However, I have felt your prayers. Several times throughout the day God has used things to remind me He's got this! So, thank you for your prayers, letters, texts and words.
I am so excited to see what God is going to do in our lives. (I am also excited to get notification that Rob is on African soil!) Keep the prayers coming and I will keep you updated. You can also visit this blog for updates.

Psalm 91
The Message (MSG)
91 1-13 You who sit down in the High God’s presence,spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow,
Say this: “God, you’re my refuge.
I trust in you and I’m safe!”
That’s right—he rescues you from hidden traps,shields you from deadly hazards.
His huge outstretched arms protect you—under them you’re perfectly safe;his arms fend off all harm.
Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night,not flying arrows in the day,
Not disease that prowls through the darkness,not disaster that erupts at high noon.
Even though others succumb all around,drop like flies right and left,no harm will even graze you.
You’ll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance,watch the wicked turn into corpses.
Yes, because God’s your refuge,
the High God your very own home,
Evil can’t get close to you,
harm can’t get through the door.
He ordered his angels
to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble, they’ll catch you;
their job is to keep you from falling.
You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,and kick young lions and serpents from the path.
14-16 “If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God,“I’ll get you out of any trouble.
I’ll give you the best of care
if you’ll only get to know and trust me.
Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times;I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party.
I’ll give you a long life,
give you a long drink of salvation!”
I have been lifting you and Rob up all day!!! Love ya!
