Departure Date: 6 Days Away

It's hard to believe that I leave for Mexico in one week (Thursday, June 25).  Life is full of visiting with people, goodbyes, packing, and seemingly endless to-do lists.  Though the sadness of leaving friends and family increases, my excitement for meeting friends in Fresnillo also grows.  No doubt about it, an adventure awaits...

Since the past few weeks have been so busy, I really enjoyed a few quiet hours yesterday as I drove to Atlanta for Sara's wedding weekend.  While I listened to Sandra McCracken's calming and beautiful song "Rock of Ages/When the Day is Long" (Thanks, Natalie!),  I was filled with peace thinking about how God never changes.  Here is the beginning of the song:

Rock of Ages, when the day is long

From this labor and this heartache I have come

The skies will wear out, but You remain the same

Rock of Ages, I praise Your name.

It also reminds me of a favorite old verse of mine, "Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you."  (Psalm 116:7)

Thus, I will rest in Christ today and always.  There will surely be some more stressful moments in the next few weeks, but may I remember to trust in Christ and abide in His presence.  

Now, it's time to focus on Sara and enjoy her and Matt's wedding celebrations! :)
