Uncertainties

In a sense it feels just like 23 years ago, when Roberto, Isaac(6 months old) and I, pack our bags and move our whole lifes to the USA.
We came to the States with this uncertainty of what live would hold for us, and now i find myself with the same uncertainties.

I find myself wonder, what i'm going to do all day long, what church we are going to attent, we will ever find a church like WEAG, will i find any good friends like i have back home, what's my role at the school.

The only thing that i knew then, is that GOD is faithful and that He will continue to be faithfull, He order our steps then and He is ordeing our steps now, and that's a great thing to hold on to.

Tati

Even thougt i didn't mention her in my last entry, only because she wasn't there that week, she is one of my biggest supporter and my rock.

So here TATI this is for you ,I LOVE YOU
And i know that you wanted to be there you just couldn't

LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Farewells

Goodbye

In just few days me and Roberto will be boarding in a plane to go back to Brazil.
The weather today totally reflects on how i fell. Cold, sad, drippy.
I really didn't think saying goodbye would be that hard. Was i wrong.
SOH board gave us a goodbye open house at our church, where our friends had a chance to came and say goodbye.
I cry more than i plan for it. I don't know why i just did.

So, with that behind us, it just made me realize that today is the begining of a week long of finishing up packing and cleaning, and more goodbyes and tears.

Let's just hope we can make it without end up in a nut house.

I love you all, and thanks for coming
