10 days until lift-off to YWAM

The cupboards are pretty bare here in the Hanson house! We decided to pack up most of the house besides decor. If someone rents or buys our house while we are away, It’ll be an easier move out. Its pretty hard packing for 6 months, when you don’t know if you will end up in a cold place (Finland, Sweden, Amsterdam, NYC, Colorado and probably Israel) or a hot place (South Africa). Chances are it’ll be a cold place!

Sadness mixed with excitement and a little happiness thrown in for good measure

Camille and I are sad as we think about our friends and family we won’t see for 6 months, but at the same time, we are filled with excitement and happiness for this new chapter in our lives. I’m excited to see many things blossom out of this experience especially a closer relationship with Jesus. It’s also exciting thinking about the growth in our marriage (Camille and mine, not you, the reader, and mine ha, but hopefully that’ll grow too), the adventures we will have and the new friends we will meet!

My new position: Follower of Jesus

It’s crazy to think that for the next 6 months Camille and I will be focused on Jesus—Praising Him, telling others about Him, and praying to Him. It’ll be our full time “job”, and from what I’ve heard the best one in the world. I was talking to Jeff about that on Skype and he said after your DTS, it will be your focus for life. I believe it after seeing the people that have returned from doing a DTS!

Oh Lord, just let us praise You and lift up your holy Name forever!
