Day #1

Dropped Jee off at Dulles this morning for his first missions trip ever.  He and 15 other people from our church are headed to a rural area in South Korea to teach English camps, do VBS, and open air evangelism.  Whoa - it's gonna be a life-changing experience for him, I'm sure!  He will be gone for 2 1/2 weeks - the longest we've ever been apart since we met 8 years ago.  I miss him like crazy and he's only been gone 8 hours.

But, here are some of the blessings from today:
-a near miss driving to the airport - we stopped centimeters from the stopped car in front of us!!
-all of jee's work related things got taken care of at the last minute, so his project is DONE and he has nothing hanging over his head when he is gone.  the final draft of his review got sent out to the Inspector General of the EPA today.  yeah!
-my UTI that was keeping me up last night miraculously disappeared after an hour nap this afternoon.  what?!  thank you Lord!  so i went to urgent care anyways, but the urine test was normal.
-emilie ate TWO plates of curry rice.  the girl never eats much and only occasionally eats curry.
-the rainbows that are all over the inside of our house now!  they are reflecting off something i'm sure (but i can't figure out what), and i've never seen them before at this hour of the day...
-peace.  His divine peace is covering us at home and i am thankful!!
