And they're off...

The Go Team Australia 2009 took off late last night, and as of this post are still in the air on their way to Brisbane, Australia.
I had such a hard day yesterday saying good-bye to Robert and Kathryn, not sure if it was missing them or not being able to go with them. When you are the traveler, you forget how difficult it is for the one’s left behind. The easy and difficult decisions made daily in a family, are left with the one and our lives are definitely running through ups and downs…good thing God is in charge, not me! (I just have to keep remembering that)

Please keep this team in your prayers as they travel. Check out the links attached to this list for more info.

Here is the Aussie Teams prayer schedule:

6/28-29 – Travel time-safety
