Peace that transcends all understanding

Last night, I went to Rani & Phil's wedding as my dad's date, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a LOT of people there who I knew, people outside of the TCBC crew! So, most of the night was spent schmoozing and working the room between each course and just catching up with old friends, some whom I hadn't seen in ages! There's nothing like spending time with good friends to put a huge smile on my face!

I was really happy last night. But I also felt God speaking to me through all of that. I have a LOT of things going for me here in Toronto - this is MY home. I have a lot of friends, and lots of activities. I have SUCH a life here. Most, including me, would find that hard to give up. Why would I ever do such a thing? But instead last night, I just felt this peace fill me, peace that transcends all understanding. God whispered to me, "You see Grace? I took care of you for 26 years. And I will always take care of you." Yes, going overseas will not be easy. It will be VERY difficult in fact, since I won't have the comforts of home (like consistent hot running water), my support group, the people who know me best. My busy activities. But God will be there. And through it all, I know that He will take care of me. So as each day passes, I am more and more certain that He wants me to go out again. I guess we'll just wait to see how the details unfold this year. =)
