Back Home Once Again

This summer has gone by incredibly fast (have I said that before?). Two days ago we arrived home once again from a family trip, so now summer is officially over and fall is beginning. All throughout this summer, God has worked in incedible ways and He is to be praised! Even in the difficult times, God has been right there and He is continuing to guide and direct.
Over this last week, my remaining plane tickets have been bought, a "rough" packing list has been organized, and the count-down is beginning as I have just over 2 weeks before I leave for Peru. I want to say once again - we serve a faithful and provident Father!
Right now, I would greatly appreciate prayer in the area of my eyes being focused completely on Christ and not swaying to any other distraction. Lately it has been easy for me to get distracted and discouraged. Just yesterday, our church service was cancelled due to a rather large storm in this area, so we had time together as a family praising Him instead. During that time, God reminded me that He is my strength and my song - He is the only reason I am to live for.
Well, I'll be updating this thing (hopefully) a bit more frequently as Sept. 14th comes closer. Sorry for the lack of stories or pictures yet, but I'm still trying to figure out how I want to use this and such. Have a great week!

"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generation."
Psalm 100
