I'm leaving on a jet plane. . in T-4 DAYS!

Ready or not, Marseille here I come! I cannot even begin to explain the emotions that are running around in my heart and mind right now about spending the next 10-weeks of life in Marseille, France. If i had to choose three words to describe my heart at the moment, they would be excited, anxious, super-pumped (i'm just gonna make this one word). I cannot predict what is to come in the next 10-weeks much like the weather in CS, and this is exciting in an adventurous kind of way but also nerve-wrecking! I've memorized Philippians 4:4-9 this week, and plan on repeating this to myself as I fly to France and when I arrive there.

(Paul writes)
"Rejoice in the Lord always, i will say it again, rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is righteous, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. What you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."

I look forward to updating y'all as I live in Marseille for the next 10-weeks. Feel free to comment and update me on what is going in your life because I'd love to hear about what you may be going through! I will miss everyone dearly and am praying for each of you.

Love,
Grace

    Gracie Lou Freebush, I miss you already! I'm at my home away from home for the second time today (Sunday, March 6), and what vehicle is in the parking lot? None none other than a silver CR-V. Complete with a "Got Hope?" bumper sticker in its rear window. Even though you don't have one of those in yours, it left me wishing the Christian driver of this vehicle was you. :'| But I know that you are pursuing the opportunity the Lord has laid at your feet. So with that said, "In all my prayers for [all of] you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:4-6 from the NIV on Blue Letter Bible. Love you! I would love to hear how your trip to D-town went.
    Jess
