Countdown

Well, I have been scolded for not keeping my blog updated, so here's to a renewed effort.

12 more days and I will be flying into Peru. I must confess that I was getting cold feet for a while, but they're gone now. I'm ready. I was born ready.

OK, so maybe I wasn't born ready, but God in His grace has prepared me for this for 11 years. (Yeah, I'm a bit of a slow learner.) I have flashes of memories of Peru, and my heart resounds within me...this is what I was made for...to walk with Jesus in other countries, spreading His love in whatever way I can. I look forward to this longer mission, where I can actually form relationships.

Training is incredible. By taking the time to step away from my life at home and just be with God, I think I've learned in 2 months what normally would have taken me several years. God challenges me, I try to resist Him, His love wins me every time, and I learn to walk with Him more. I'm trying to take out that second step and just get to the good stuff though!

My invitation to you today is to let God speak to you. What is He saying to you today? And how will you respond?
