Peace, light & mercy

Coffee with egg nog creamer, 2 Corinthians 4:1-6, and a quiet warm apartment. The calm, peacefulness before the moving storm hits.

We have less than 3 weeks to sell all our stuff and move. Crazy. This is actually happening. I can't believe it.... well I can, it's just that for so long we only talked about it and now it's happening. We are moving to the Philippines. WOOT WOOT! Watch out Philippines this wild New Englander is headed your way.

I have been overwhelmed at times, super anxious at times, and stressed most of the time. (Which I am sure all those words mean the same, but I like lists). However, after this mornings time with God, He calmed me right down.

"Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God ... For God, who said 'Let light shine out of darkness, made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" 2 Corinthians 4

God has brought us to this point. He will continue to lead us. It's "through God's mercy" we have 818 ministry. We are going to bring it to the Philippines and shine some light where there is much darkness, and God will be with us the whole time. Stress, all gone. Thank you, God.

If you remember all of that, then moving should be a breeze ... we are doing this for God glory ... thats the big picture.

Love & Peace.
