An old saying goes "The will of God won't lead, where the grace of God can't keep you." Over the last 6 months our family has been on a great journey of God's leading and honestly, I can't remember most of it. Today would be my baby sister's 18th Birthday, but instead of wrapping gifts we are packing bags, instead of cake and ice cream we are looking at eating cuy (guinea pig) and instead of showering her with love we are passing love onto Peruvians who desperately need to know the love of God.
The will of God has lead us to this place. James reminds me perfectly of God's intentions for us; "when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing." Natalie is perfect and complete and we are on our way to join her eventually, but in the mean time, pray for us over the next 3 weeks. Pray that now, since God has led us to this place, that His grace will keep us and use us in an Extreme Expansion of His kingdom!
