Let the Countdown Begin (30, 29, 28, 27, 26...........)

Okay family and friends......I am counting down until 2 May.  Today it's 2 April in Japan and I plan to count every single day that God gives me. 

This has been a true journey.  But it's time to pack and get on the plane!!!! America here we come.

**Thomas has his suitcase packed.  It's like......ready to go packed.  LOL  I better get on it as well.

Until next time, peace and blessings!

30 Days Until We PCS to America

Today is 1 April 2011 in Japan.  Thomas and I have 30 days until we PCS to America.  We've been here for three years and now it's our turn to leave. 

We've been busy with:

• Cleaning the House
• Working
• Church Activities

Now it's time to get the house packed up.  TMO comes in exactly 14 DAYS (15 April 2011)!!!!!!!!! to pack and ship our household items.  Time is really flying by, but we've managed to stay organized through the process.  I will keep you posted on our move.  Until then, I am signing off.

Why 3:30?

27 February 2011 through 6 March 2011 I was awakened each morning at 3:30a.m.  After day two or three I really began to wonder why 3:30????  I know it wasn't my physical body waking up that early.  So on Saturday, 5 March, one of my sisters from Bible study said "Chantel, just pray.  There is a meaning behind 3:30"  That night, still nothing.  So on Sunday, 6 March, around 530a.m. "John" was dropped in my spirit.  (At this point, still not connecting with 3:30).  So I grabbed my Bible from the night stand and thumbed through John, starting with John 1.  John 1....nope, John 2.....not there.  Then I came across John 3:30...."He must become greater; I must become less."  What a mighty God we serve!!!!!  Lord, I thank you for your power!

**Look at God** Today in Japan, it's 3/30/2011 & I started this blog around 3:30am (there's 3:30 again)

This is the start of something great for me.  I love to put the pen to the paper, but I want to share my journey.  I don't know what the Lord will give me from day to day, but I promise to become less so He can be greater.

Enjoy and blessings to you!
