Growing Pains

Hello,

This may not be a very structured post. I'm letting you all know that I will be creating my India blog here shortly and will let you know with an email or Facebook invitation.

I can't believe I'm leaving in five days as of tomorrow! It still seems completely surreal. My parents got me a beautiful new luggage set for Christmas that is hardcase black with a lace screenprint design on it that is distinct and sophisticated. It'll make it easy to find coming off of baggage claim.

I got to spend some concerted Auntie time with my nephews this Christmas. It was fun letting my motherly instincts kick in (I learned from the best)without having to have the job permanently!

I'd really like your prayer this week. I've got so much to do yet for lesson planning, getting details, doing insurance, etc. that I feel overwhelmed. I do have my parents, two international travelers, to help me. Please pray for my teaching to come together, as that is where I need the most confidence/grace. Also, there's still so much I don't know yet about the country, social graces there, etc.

I'll be back in good form soon enough. For now, it's growing pains...
