"Brittany, what's that?" Bethany leans against my chair, watching me quietly.
"It's a countdown," I answer.
"To Bulgaria?" I smile at her guess.
"Yes, to Bulgaria."
Everyday the number on that little countdown calendar dwindles just a bit, reminding us that my time in Bulgaria is really, truly coming - and fast!
Saturday, several close friends and family members braved the frozen roads and freezing temperatures to gather together and celebrate the adventure of this new season.
My heart was full as many of those who have meant so much to me shared well wishes, prayed over me, ate yummy food together, and were encouraged as we were reminded of the big plans God has for all of us.
Thank you to all of you who have supported me in my journey! You mean the world to me.
