Shopping Should Be Fun
But right now it’s not. We’ve begun to buy things to take with us to Africa. We need a 3 year supply of dental floss, contact lens solution, razor blades, deodorant… the list goes on… Handing over the money for all that is HARD.
I have to remind myself that a) God has provided for these expenses and b) I won’t be buying any of this stuff again for 3 years.
After we get everything we need through our own purchasing and the generous giving of others, we’ll have to split everything up between what goes with us as excess baggage and what gets airfreighted over. I’m actually looking forward to that because I love getting organized.
We also learned of an economical way to ship books called “the book bag”. They’ll take a good 6 months to get there but totally worth it for the lower cost. (Of course, I’ll take a stash with me in excess baggage to last those 6 months.)
The bright side of all this is that we don’t have a lot more to go and then we’ll get to start packing everything up. Days seem much more relaxed now than they did a few months ago. One day at a time is much easier now than it has been yet in this whole process. Yay for progress!
