David and I are going to Honduras.
This may not seem as momentous as it feels right now, for everyone who doesn't know the situational considerations I feel very keenly as I type.
We are living in David's parents' house, in Jeremy's bedroom, while he lives on our futon in his drum/game room. David has no job, and I have two, neither of which have paid me anything to date. Of the two serious job prospects David has, one won't answer his calls, and the other one requires us to sell a bunch of our furniture and move an hour away to a secluded town on the other side of the mountains.
We are living out of a suitcase, while our other belongings, minus a few items (mostly pantry), are packed into a storage building, behind a giant table saw. Including our passports/paperwork, other suitcases, some of the clothes we would need to take, and most of our toiletries.
I made a packing list for us today, and marked D for "dig up" or B for "buy or borrow" items. We have two weeks to turn all those items into check marks and have them ready for the trip. In that two weeks it is very possible that we will move or at least make a trip to my parents' house to get the required Tetanus shots.
Bottom Line: We are under-prepared, hugely under-funded, and following where we know God is leading.
Under the Bottom Line: I need to make more lists.
