Hello Dear Family and Friends! I can
hardly believe in 11 days Dave and I will be on a flight to Asia. It’s surreal.
There is no way possible that we would
have made it to where we are if it weren’t for the love of Christ and the love
that so many of you have poured out for us. From praying for us, to helping us
move, for commenting on my blog letting me know you support us, for the cards,
words of encouragement and much much more. There is no way we can count the
abundance of blessings God has poured out on us but we are humbled and
grateful.
Today I have two things for you! The
first is a giveaway. I’ve teamed up with some really great women who have
supported and encouraged me on my journey. We are giving away a Chemex coffee
maker with filters, half of a pound of fresh roasted coffee from The Spice Merchant (a
local joint in my hometown) and two hand painted cards from Burma. I’m super
excited for whoever wins this prize!
If you haven’t heard of a Chemex
coffee maker you can go to their website to learn more about why this coffee
maker is so great. Basically their brewing method takes out the bitter coffee
tastes and makes a great cup of java. Plus, I always feel like I’m creating
some amazing scientific lab experiment when I make coffee with my Chemex.
The second thing I have for you is
some snail mail! I love receiving snail mail and I love
sending it. If you e-mail me your name and address
I will send you a card from either Thailand or Burma. Due to postal regulations it might
take me a few weeks to send you some snail mail but I give you my word if you
ask for some snail mail I’ll do my best to send you some!
Thanks again friends for all your love
and support! Here are the lovely ladies that are teaming up with me today. I hope
you will take a few minutes to check out their blogs and see what they are all
about.

ReplyDeleteI'm thankful that we just got heat and air put in our house!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great thing to be thankful for! Thanks for that reminder. We are working on our massive to-do list before Burma so that is a good reminder for me. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYay for Bible study. That is a really big blessing that you get to go. What are you studying right now in your group?
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Happy birthday to your son.
ReplyDeleteI know!!! It feels super duper surreal.
ReplyDeleteNo plans and evenings at home are a huge blessing! I hope you enjoy your night. I'm glad you like snail mail. Just send me your address (I didn't save it) and I'll get you some mail.
ReplyDeleteYeah, girl! E-mail me and I'll send you some.
ReplyDeleteme too! I love coffee every day.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are thankful for him and I'm glad he is a good husband and father. Team work makes all the difference with a new born. Not that I know for myself but I have sisters who have babies =)
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice thing to have especially during the extreme seasons. Glad you got that.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for my fun winter knitting project. It's nice to have a productive and lovely way to stay occupied in the evenings!
ReplyDeleteYay for knitting. I love knitting. What are you making? This is random but did you know you can take knitting needles on an airplane? I was surprised but happy to take mine. I'm glad you have a fun thing to do in the evenings.
ReplyDeleteOnly 11 more days?! Ahh are you super nervous and anctious or calm and just ready to get going?! I so wan't this chemex coffee maker! You're the first one who ever told me about these, and I honestly have yet to try coffee from one. Silly me I need to get on that! Thanks so much for having me be apart of such a wonderful giveaway as you are in the final days before yours and Daves journey!
ReplyDeleteI got a kit from We Are Knitters to review (I am so pumped!) that's called "Soho's Snood." It's basically what I would call a cowl, though, and it's really soft and gray. It's been awhile since I knit instead of crocheted so it has been fun to re-learn. I'm really glad to hear you can take knitting needles on the plane--I wasn't sure so I didn't travel with this project, but now I know I can take one home for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm a mix of every emotion! It's weird. I've been praying God will help us to be ready. I know some coffee shops have a Chemex as a brewing option so you might check around. It would be fun if you won!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a part of it.
I'm thankful for chubby toddler hands and baby snuggles today. What a great giveaway! Prayers for you guys on your new adventure
ReplyDeleteThose are great things to be thankful for! I love seeing your picture updates of staying in The Word and your cute kidos! You are an encouragement. Thank you so very much for the prayers.
ReplyDeleteBeka LOVES her chemex!
