Suitcases are packed, documents are in order, a few last hoorays have been had and farewells have been said....now as the busyness of all the preparations have settled the reality of the task ahead has landed on our shoulders....
Bailey will set aside the things of the world for eighteen months to bring others unto Christ....
We will let or daughter go, trusting that The Lord will watch over her and keep her safe....
This takes a bravery and courage we are only know understanding.
She has never flown before, or gone through customs solo before, or been a missionary before...
And we have never said goodbye to a missionary daughter before...
This is all BRAVE new territory for us. I'm overjoyed, but dreading the farewell. There have been so many difficult goodbyes in my life, and I don't want this to be one of them.
"We have to remember.....She will be set apart ( as a missionary) and Heavenly Father will help her....and He will help us too." Superman said.
Be a missionary and being a missionary parent is an act of BRAVERY, I just hope I'm brave enough, come Monday.
