Perfectionist or Just Neurotic :)
I'm not sure which I am really a perfectionist or just plain neurotic? Hmmm... well this whole planning and packing part of Guatemala has been a crazy few days! I won't have my helper with me (Josh) he always lifts all my heavy stuff.. so I needed a way to still bring my junk and not die trying to lift it. Well I was told backpacks are the way to go... but of course we have no stores around here which carry such a thing. So I prayed the Lord would please send me a backpack... that was on Saturday morning. I went to every store we have and went online but express shipping would have like doubled the price! So anyways, last night at a youth as I was getting in my car someone offered for me to take a look at the backpack they have which just happens to be in their room! Not packed away but right handy to grab! God is so good... I now have a backpack to journey to Guatemala!
I was also very touched last night at youth when it was suggested by 2 girls that we (Kyrstin, Ben, and I) be prayed over for our trip to Guatemala! That meant a lot! My "Great Adventure" begins Thursday!
Saddle up your horses by Steven Curtis Chapman
Started out this morning in the usual way
Chasing thoughts inside my head of all I had to do today
Another time around the circle try to make it better than the last
I opened up the Bible and I read about me
Said I'd been a prisoner and God's grace had set me free
And somewhere between the pages it hit me like a lightning bolt
I saw a big frontier in front of me and I heard somebody say "let's go"!
CHORUS:
Saddle up your horses we've got a trail to blaze
Through the wild blue yonder of God's amazing grace
Let's follow our leader into the glorious unknown
This is a life like no other - this is The Great Adventure
Come on get ready for the ride of your life
Gonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behind
And discover all the new horizons just waiting to be explored
This is what we were created for
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
We'll travel over, over mountains so high
We'll go through valleys below
Still through it all we'll find that
This is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever see
The love of God will take us far beyond our wildest dreams
Yeah... oh saddle up your horses... come on get ready to ride
CHORUS

Thanks for the great verse yesterday Christy... it really helped me a lot. Love you and hope you are having a huge amount of fun at Hershey Park!
Debbie, I cannot wait to hear your stories about the amazing blessings that will be given and received on your missions trip.
You have such a heart for people, and it shows so clearly.
You, and the whole team, will be in my prayers!
That's a really amazing song. We used to jam out to Steven Curtis Chapman when we were little girls. A childhood favorite.
"Mommy, let's listen to the horses song.." haha.
I really hope you're having a good trip. It's really neat that you guys had so much prayer before you went and while you were gone. That's a blessing.
Anxious to see you when you get back! God Bless!
Love You!
Sherri
