Pow: As it always is when I move or pack for a long trip or return from a long trip (I'm not sure what this qualifies as), my life has become a kind of organized chaos. When I left Berlin in June, I had one modestly full duffel bag with me. That's reasonable for 10 weeks right? And yet, somehow, the amount of stuff I have laid out all over the upstairs hallway has ballooned up so much that I'll be lucky to keep it under my 100 pound weight limit. Turns out 100 pounds really isn't that much when you're trying to carry Sam's Club-sized shampoo and peanut butter and chocolate chips with you. Hmm.
Wow: Completely by the grace of God, 80 percent of my support is in! That leaves me with a bit to finish up from Germany, but if $30,000 in 10 weeks isn't proof that God can provide for me, I don't know what would be. Also, another (slightly belated) wow was my lovely trip to Traverse City last week. Pictures below. :)
