ps.... the last post was me, TRACY. :)

Been concerned with:
 being "on time" tomorrow
getting our money converted
driving into BC
crossing the border w/ our documents
meeting up w/ the appropriate people on time
getting our cells transfered

And then I remembered that God:
got Judah's passport to us quickly
provided money for our roadtrip and September costs
let us stay w/ friends and family and they fed/blessed us
provided housing for us in BC
let us all be relatively healthy so far
helped me and cec and the boys SLEEP everynight and naps
helped us have down time
let us have nice heart to hearts w/ our friends and families
provided a strong/serving husband
provided coffee shops
provided food
provided clean clothes
let us have late night fun
keeps the car from having problems
provided friends to get our home clean before we left
provided $ for carpet shampooing and to bless friends
provided a nice hotel for us in Grants Pass (nice continental bfast too)
provided dvds for solas to watch in the car
provided snacks
provided good kid-time/interaction for our boys
provided great weather

Psalms 78:22- I want to remember the wonders God has already done for us!
Matt 9:28-29- I want to have faith that God will take care of us just like he has already!
John 3:12-I want to trust him NOW w/ my earthly concerns.

Last full day in America, eh?

So.....  its 1:23pm, Cec is trying to put the boys down for a little nap.... and I'm sitting down for a sec to do my final blogging/facebooking in America.  Wow.... that was weird.  Tomorrow we'll be in a different country.  Only 5 1/2 hrs to Abbotsford, Bc. We'll take about 7hrs.  We stop and eat a lot. :)  Theres so many unknowns that fight to steal my joy.  I feel unsure about what to expect north of portland (we've never driven so north).  Don't know what the I-5 will be like... traffic.... straight... winding?  Where will we convert our USD?  Will we be able to successfully get money from the ATM?  (We've had some frustrating experiences w/ this in the past).   
Seems like....  I need to really combat the fear of all these ambigiuities.  I want to be joyful and peaceful.  I want to have FUN not fear.  You know? 

 

These are some pictures that our good friend Terry Tripp did, he has his own photography business...my man has skills...wife and the boys came out great!!!

On our way to Canada!!!

Hey guys!!!
We're laying on our stomachs on our hotel bed in Grants Pass, Or.!!!!!!!!  Judah is standing in his pack n' play talking to us.  Solas is making snakes in the bathroom.  Cec is flipping through the cable channels (something we don't ever do-its a treat).  And I'm creating this blog!!! YEY!!!!
I'll upload photos ASAP. 
love and miss you all!!!!!
