leaving

Just wanted to post to ask for prayers as we are departing tomorrow for our 10 day mercy mission trip to Brazil. I hope to be able to journal here on a daily basis. We are so grateful to God for the beautiful tapestry that He is weaving in our lives. It has been a busy season of preparation and trying to enjoy the summer with many activities and opportunities to serve. I regret that I have not written here more but God knows what I need and when I should write. As we approach the one year anniversary of Renner's death I am apprehensive but know again that He has not brought us this far to drop us. I am daily reminded of His grace that is sufficient for me and that His strength is perfect and is all powerful in my weakness. Christ IS and ENABLES my righteousness. Praise God for He is good and His mercies endure for ever. I am so eager to see what He will accomplish through this trip in our lives and I want to grow in my understanding and leaning on Him as my everything. I desire to grow in a deepening relationship with my Lord and Saviour and so get a clearer and clearer vision of heaven so that the light and momentary afflications of this world dim as I look to the Author and Perfecter of my faith.
