Next Steps

I reported last week that I made some great successes and walked a couple days in a row without my braces. I'm happy to update that I continued the successful solo large loops around the nearby buildings without my braces. I didn't get out there today because I was prepping for the final quarter of the year - the home stretch of my fifth year at BFA before my totalization. I'm ready to go for these last couple months in my classroom, but there are still a lot of other details to sort out in my life.

Fortunately, I can happily report that one of those details is sorted - I have a place to go after my trip to America and quick stop in Germany to get some medical procedures done. I'm in the visa application process to spend my totalization time as a sabbatical in Christchurch, New Zealand. 

The walking progress and New Zealand placement are huge steps forward for me despite me not having a fancy story to tell for either this week. I'd love your prayers for more of the details of my physical recovery and moving out of Kandern's community for the year. There are still a lot of steps left to get to New Zealand successfully. You're welcome to send me encouraging Tolkien references and keep praising God for my successes so far.

    Gandalf the Grey became Gandalf the White by following the LIGHT just like you have :)

    I wish I had some cool quote but I am at a loss. I can say that early this morning I was up praying for you and your endeavors. I renewed to the Lord our commitment to pray and encourage you. Big hugs from Portland!
