Past the gray

We're in the final count down.

Only 3 more days until Peru!

It is safe to say this week is flying by, and it's been hard for me to slow down.

I realize I need to spend just 10 minutes to step away from the packing, the to-do lists, the emails, and sit down to write about what I want to achieve while on this mission trip.

I came across the saying above a long time ago (during one of my long-lived escapades on Pinterest) and fell in love with it.

I believe we are to live life with a purpose, with a motive—than compared to the habitual patterns and acts we make into our normal routine.

One verse I will be taking with me as I travel to Peru and go through my day is James 4:15,

"If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that"

This is my intent—to live as the Lord's will wants me to.

As I take on Peru next week I am going to try my best to keep my intent in the forefront of my mind—and I encourage you all to try it with me.
