1 Month Left!!


I know a month seem like a long time, and it is when you are a kid or if you are waiting for something really exciting to happen! Well time is certainly going slow in the Davies house for some, and for others it is a runaway train! So much to do and to just wait for the time line to hit and do it is hard. We are beginning to pack. Pack up things to take and pack up things for storage. What to leave out for the lovely girls who are renting from us. It is an honour to have them "take care" of our home for the year. We totally trust them and know that God have directed them into our lives, so all will be well. "It is Well With My Soul" is my favorite "older" hymn and all is truely is well with my soul. God is in control and it is a great feeling! We had some extra expenses come into play, but also had some extra funds given so we will be fine! Rebecca got her hair cut last weekend and is donating it to "Locks of Love". She looks so beautiful and has not regretted her decision. Talk to you again very soon.

June 20th Update


Well, Hello, we are so close now. With 39 days to go we have many things on the go. Packing is the number 1 priority, but close behind trying to stay sane. 16 working days for me and 21 for Brent. We have a trip to Saskatoon planned for early July to say "Goodbye" to parents/grandparents and going away parties for July 14th. We hope to stay focused on the task at hand and prepare ourselves and those we leave behind for a year. It will be difficult to say "Adios" to our 3 older kids and their significant others, I dread that day actually. I have been good so far, but know that the 29th of July will bring a flood of tears like I have never seen before. The photo attached is of our entire family, Brent and I, Christy and her daughter, Taylor, Dallas and his wonderful girlfriend, Amy, Nikki and her great husband, Darel, Rebecca, Mikaela and Reilly, 11 in total. Brent and I are so fortunate to have them all! Please pray that we will stay united and in touch during these next few weeks and in the year to follow.
Serving Him,
Rhea
