Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...

This is my first blog. EVER. It almost seems like talking to myself at this point...but...it is my first blog. As a lot of my friends and family know, I am going to be leaving our great country on Friday to go do missions in Peru. I will not be gone long, but will also be detached from (of which I am highly addicted) my cell phone. So...I figured what better way to let everyone know what's going on. There is an internet cafe near where we will be staying, and the days that I can make it there....I will blog. As of right now, I think that blogging and checking a couple emails is about all I will do...(facebook and I are having a love/HATE relationship...so i figured I'd leave it behind in the U.S.A while I am away)

I am overwelmed with emotions as I prepare to go to Peru. It will be a life changing experience, that I will forever be blessed for the opportunity to be apart of. I am thankful for the many blessings I recieve each day, and for the support that I have recieved from so many people, who have made this possible for me.

"When I am free from ambition, I am free to serve with a joyful heart.
When I am free from selfishness, I am free from irritation.
When I am free from jealousy, I am free to rejoice in the good of another.
When I am free from judgment, I am free to pray from a pure heart.
When I am free from expectation, I am free to enjoy whatever comes.
When I am freed from controlling others, I am free to see the miraculous.
When I am truly free, I will see the Kingdom of God in my life."

Our mission teams bible verse-

Proverts 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight.
