It&#8217;s been well over a week now since I&#8217;ve had a full night&#8217;s sleep, and we&#8217;re still all sick (kind of a viscous circle, isn&#8217;t it?!).  This morning I was awake at 5am, and then Hannah decided to get up at 6am, so it&#8217;s been a long day!  But somehow God is helping us through it.<\/p>\n<p>We did decide to leave a day later than we were originally planning, so that&#8217;s helping &#8211; at least for now!   Of course, it will mean we have more to do once we start our tour!  We&#8217;ll just have to ask the Lord for strength day by day.<\/p>\n<p>I remember hearing someone say that the Lord doesn&#8217;t give us all the strength we need for all our lives at once.  He is the source, and we need to keep coming to Him for what we need.  Sometimes being at the end of your rope reminds you to come to Him, but then again it&#8217;s sometimes that when we&#8217;re in the worst panic that we forget where to go for help!  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we&#8217;re getting packed and we&#8217;re planning to leave in the morning.  We&#8217;ve been getting ready to do a Children&#8217;s Ministry Seminar on Saturday at Scarborough Baptist Church in Prince Albert, so we&#8217;re looking forward to that.  We still don&#8217;t have anything booked for Sunday, so if you are in the area and would like to have us at your church for special music or to share . . . well, drop us an email!  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d better get back to work.
