Well, I achieved a huge milestone, but sometimes I question the cost. I love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, or should I say, I try to. I fail from time to time. I\'m just having trouble grapling with the emormity of all of this. Peru is actually on the horizon!--Dec. 3rd! However, my mother, as much as I love her, can\'t seem to understand why I\'m moving there and there are other Christians who will probably question my motives and I understand people\'s concerns, but I just ask that other people understand where I\'m coming from too.
So, let me try to explain this: I am LONGING for reaching out to Peruvians. If the word \"longing\" doesn\'t grab you, then I\'m at a loss for words. I love these people...the type of love only God can give. Sure, some will not love me back and I know this will not be a walk in the park either, but these are people who need the Lord just like anybody else.
Over six months ago, I posted 2011 Growing Into a Big Year in my previous journal entry. I know because I\'m staring at the title as I type this right now! LOL But seriously, this year has become just that! I never did think back then that I actually would be entertaining much less actually preparing myself for being down there for a much longer period of time. I really don\'t know what else to say, but to those who happen to read this journal entry, please continue to pray for me. It\'s going to be a struggle, but one I\'m ready to take on with the Lord\'s help. Thank you in advance!
I\'m agitated! My recent diabetes is acting up and my blood sugar is up! Please pray for strength, especially concerning my temper. My fuse is short right now!
