if there is anything that preparation for this summer has taught me, it is that i am a control monster. oh wait, i already knew that.packing is an absolute mess. i have lists and lists of what to bring and what not to bring, but they don’t seem to be helpful. the one thing they…
i want to live in a world of color,where gray becomes yellow and red seeps through the cracks and the holes.where white is not white- but light;and blue reaches deep to my soul. i want to live in a world of color,where the rain brings new life to the green,the colors around me enfold me,…
all i have for today is some verses i came across the other day. i have heard them before in a song and even read them a time or two: He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the…

I love the necklace! And I have to tell you that I absolutely refuse to even go in that area of the craft store because I CAN’T add another craft/hobby to my life. But I am going to take the cake decorating classes this summer. HA HA!!!
Now about the rest of your post: 1) I don’t think you can pack too light. Now matter how you try to pare it down, you will probably have too much.
2) Take the Pepto Bismol tablets. For both China trips I took enough to take 2 every morning. That gave my intestines the lining it needed in case anything bad slipped in.

3) God is clearly sharpening you on the control thing. It’s a recurring theme in your posts. Letting go of that will help you have peace – having peace will help you let go.
4) I love this: there are two kinds of peace- 1. the peace that there is for our souls because of what Christ did for us. and 2. the peace for our hearts that he gives in our circumstances.
And I love you!!!
