The Physical
Well here it is three weeks to Peru! God has shown me time and time again how HE overcomes my weaknesses. My battle now is this old flesh. As much as I try and say GOD HELP, I just can't seem to say no to the snacks and the not so healthy foods. I have tried so many different eating habits; I know it is the lack of exercise that is the key. SO today I started an exercise regiment that I pray will help me get physically ready for this journey! I plan to work out twice a day at least three days a week.
Lord Help me to say with my actions and my choices that I love you MORE than my desires!

VBS ADVENTURE!
Well, It looks like the Lord wants to teach me more than what a VBS is He wants me to learn all the inn's and outs of a VBS! Listen to this:
Last Sunday, 4-29 was our first team meeting and Amy, our team leader asked the group to be praying about heading up the organization of the VBS for our team. My first thoughts were that this is not my church body and I know ZERO about VBS. Through the week I prayed to the Lord and shared with Him that if no one else would do it then I would but didn't really want to take that on beings I know nothing about it. WELL....here's what happened at this weeks meeting; Amy asked who wanted to lead the organizing of the VBS. No one had responded! Mike, our ChildReach leader for Gateway church had shown us a folder that ChildReach had sent him to help organize our VBS if we need it. I looked around the room and saw that no one was volunteering for the job. I spoke out and told the group that I knew NOTHING about VBS, never been in one nor ever have I been part of leading one!
I told Mike that if I could have that book I could do it if no one else would. Well... turns out that was me volunteering for the job!!!! YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh dear!
I am so excited for this and what the Lord wants to show me and how He wants to use me. I know and trust He will do amazing things. It is kinda fun being vulnerable so much so that I HAVE TO DEPEND ON GOD. I know there is no way I can do this, BUT HE can and will.
Praise the Lord He has given me two ladies on my organizational team that have been on this trip before and 7 other ladies who are willing to help organize this! I know I can not do this alone either and will need every single one of them to get the whole vision that God wants for this VBS!
Psalm 37:5
"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
TRUST is the one thing God has been asking me to do through this entire trip. First He said Trust Me that I have called you to serve on this trip, this year. Now He says Trust Me that I will give you exactly what you need to bring My vision to life for this VBS.
GOD YOU ARE SO AWESOME!
