Packing

I am packing for 7 weeks in Africa!

You would think you'd need a lot of stuff for that amount of time. We are limited to 1 bag at 44 pounds each. You can't take everything in that. I'd like to but I know I won't really need it all.

I've done this before and our luggage was 2 weeks late getting to Africa. Somehow God provided everything we really needed when we needed it. We had just the right amount of clothes and we were certainly never hungry. We were even able to buy diapers for 2 year old Taylor at the time.

When our luggage actually arrived I felt like I had just unloaded a department store and was so overwhelmed by the stuff!

So why 4 years later am I still trying to get it all in?

Matthew 6
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
