Shelly and I spent an afternoon together in Santa Barbara and Rea Mae joined us. About a year ago, Shelly and I were admittedly glad that neither one of us had to shop with a small child in arm. When Shelly found out she was pregnant lets just say I wasn't entirely stoked on the idea but after looking at this adorable face, I've changed my opinion. It will be hard to leave Shelly and Rea Mae knowing that so much will happen in little Rea Mae's life while I'm gone.
Another hard goodbye is reserved for my grandparents. We are a very tight family. Considering their are only six in our immediate family that may not be a shock. I am fortunate to have grandparents that I love to spend time with. They are always supportive and encouraging. I couldn't ask for a more loving family. With Grandma's recent lymphoma diagnosis and Chemotherapy treatment, it will be hard not to be around for them. However, God is good and mighty to save! Both my grandma and I feel completely at peace as I go off with YWAM. I know she is in His hands and I am so glad that I can share my experiences with her.
Good night from California. I'll write to you next from Hawaii!
