A peace that PACKS with understanding...

A dear friend sent me a verse this morning that was in every way just what I needed to be reminded of. "I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give, the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." John 14:27. Wow! How could I have forgotten that? 
During this whirlwind packing process I stress over whether I have enough (or too much) of everything and if I'll actually survive for four months out of my comfort zone (which I like very much), but being reminded of a peace so great that we measly little humans cannot even begin to understand is ridiculously calming. 
I leave tomorrow to meet up with the group and then fly to Athens. I have no idea what to expect, regarding anything, but am excited as this great adventure begins! Please keep all us travelers in your prayers, dear reader.
