Preperations

My trip to Latvia is drawing near. Four days to be exact. Naturally I am beginning the process of packing, making lists, and checking them twice. One aspect of a mission trip that is different than say, a vacation to the Keys, is I have to think of something to say to the youth I will be working with. Thankfully I have nothing (really) to do with what I say, the Lord has everything to do with it. Usually it is very easy for me to share where I'm at, because I'm at where they're at. Not so much this time. To them, I will be an adult. Weird. I was thinking and praying about the verse I would focus on, and I felt this is where God is leading me:

Proverbs 4:23

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." NIV

More later. Hope you had a terrific Tuesday!
