Allow the peace that is His to wash over you and remember that He loves you more than your anticipation for your new charge and He waits for you longingly in Heaven. This journey is a picture to remind us that the way Louanne and Mike have gone through this difficult but worthy journey is an example of how He waits for us to come home, walks with us through this life, and grieves at the hardest parts of our journey with us.... but also gives us a perfect picture of our reunion with Him later. May His blessings of peace and comfort be with the NEW Mason family for the rest of this trip. May His perfect wisdom shine down on your family forever. Your friend, and sister in Christ, Laura]]> Sometimes in our lives
A great and momentous thing happens
We’re faced with all types of challenges
Although full of longing to reach the end
The ride is electrified and filled with wondrous things
Grab hold of the rails because you’ll need the support
Hang on tight … it’s an overwhelming journey
Those rails are in place
From Him straight above
To keep you secure, stable and rooted
Although your body may sway with momentum
Those feet firmly planted in His wise strength
Will guide and protect you from the hardest section
This ride of your life is truly filled with His love and protection
No matter what ails you along this expectant journey
His mighty hand is holding you closely
Think of the warmth of His embrace
Let His peace wash over your beautiful face
Give Him the reigns and let Him take charge
Of all that you think you’ve already given over
Allow that to penetrate into your soul
The peace He gives to you for your state of mind
Washes over you in a moment’s time
Imagine the calmest of sandy beaches
Water pristine and clear as a crystal
Your toes in the sand
The water lapping round you
The warmth of the sun hugging you tight
The breeze whisping by and kissing your face

Louanne I got teary eyed when I read about you. I am a fellow buddy from the RQ Nov room and I imagine that I will be completely overwhelmed when we get there. I hope all is going well and my thoughts are with you!

How absolutely stressful and thoroughly exhausting. Crossing my fingers those bags show up soon! Tim lost his bags in China once and now has a slew of Chinese underwear and button-down shirts.
