Day after next...




We have finally arrived at what has seemed like forever... only on a calendar. In actual time, the weeks have flown by so fast that it is hard to believe that I should pack tonight... ugh. This morning I woke up and fed my dog, hit the snooze, hit the gym, and then donned my tie and shirt (not sure if I match today) and was out the door. Pretty normal stuff.

Then why did I feel so abnormal?

There is this sense of calm that comes over me when I have a lot to do. When I am gearing up for a big task. Whenever I step out on a limb. Last night Beth and I were talking, "Wow, we leave on Saturday... there is so much to do. We should pack tomorrow!" We have finally arrived at the boiling point - and I feel calm. I sometimes question our ability to do the work that God is lining up for us. I question my role with this team. I wonder about our commitments and how we will represent Christ. But in all of that, I am calm today. I don't feel rushed. It's neat.

Reminded me of Paul giving thoughts to the Peace that surpasses understanding. I think that's what we all need at this moment. Whether it's us, going on the trip, or the church family in Delta wondering what to expect. Peace will bring us through.

Take a breath today and thank God for the peace he has given us. And if you feel stressed - let his peace wrap you up and live in confidence that He will provide.
