Cruising

We are on our way....in the atlanta airport waiting to catch a plane for houston and then board a ship for a week long cruise through the carribean!  i can hardly believe it for lots of reasons...
 1)  I simply cannot believe that we have been given such pleasures.  the more and more i read and experience I feel truly humbled and completely guilty that we are living in such extravagance when others struggle with basic necessities.  i will enjoy this time...however, we are working on ways to give back and spend less.  
2)  i cant believe that we will be without our girls for 8 days.  i am not afraid of anything happening to them but i am afraid of missing them like crazy!   my heart will never forget their precious smiles!!!
3)  i am afraid of big boats.  i am not a worrier or a fearful person but there is something about big boats that make me nervous!  the other night after talking with mark i asked him if he had ever seen me scared...only once in 9 years together!  this may be the second!  :)  i have had to continually remind myself of God's command in scripture, "do not fear"

incredibly grateful for this opportunity and looking forward to enjoying this gift!
