On Thursday we landed in Brisbane, Australia. We were a bit tired and jet-lagged, but we were home. We were a bit shocked by the heat and humidity here, but I'm not complaining:) As of today, all our outreach teams have arrived back safely.
We had a great time finishing the outreach in Cusco. One of the churches we helped and partnered with gave us a farewell lunch party and said thanks. The last couple days we prayed and worshiped over the city and did a bit more kids ministry.
Overall, we were so grateful for our time in Cusco and on the Inca Trail. I know so much more was done in the spiritual realm in and through us, even more than what we experienced and saw. When we landed in Peru the first time, God said, "Things are not as though they appear." God taught me so much about His reality. We are faced with the choice of perspective daily. We can choose to see the world around us as reality or we can choose to see God's reality. On days where I was tempted to be down or discouraged, God reminded of Psalm 32:10 "The Lord's unfailing love surrounds those who trust Him." When I feel attacked or discouraged about something, I can choose to take the perspective of the world I see, or I can choose to believe that God's unfailing love is surrounding me, even if I don't feel it. So often we base our perspective on our emotions, but God wants our stability to be deeper than our emotions, He wants us to be unshakable in Him. Choose to believe what God says about you. What is He saying about you right now? What is His perspective? Take a moment to ask Him, He wants to tell you, He's trying to tell you, all you must do is listen. God speaks loud enough to those who are listening.
Thank you so much for all your support and prayers, we appreciate you so much!
