I’m glad you found their resource site helpful, Jean. I think they’re quite generous with giving away much of their material for free like that. Their way of thinking/writing/summarizing has been so helpful to me through the years.

Yes, without prayer, what’s the worth of any other deliberation? Right now I am at peace about Guatemala. I hope I maintain it. 🙂 Only by God’s grace….

Guatemala sounds like a very big decision to make, i hope you at peace with the decision whatever it is.

Thank you, Lisa!!

I hope these tips will be able to help you at least in a small way as you form your decision, Lynn. Big decisions are always difficult, even when we are trusting the Lord. Can’t imagine doing it without him! If I think I lack courage now, who knows how cowardly I’d be totally on my own. Praying for you, friend! I know God will lead you to make a wise decision.

I’m really not sure what all to expect from the trip (well, who ever can know what to expect from ANY trip?), but I know God will be present. That’s where I want to keep my trust.

I like practical advice, too, Tracy, and this book presented such practical tips. These authors always do, which is one reason I wanted to read this book, expecting the same.

I’m glad I can be an encouragement to you. I do pray for the struggles you are going through as you continue to step out in faith and do hard things. I also appreciate you hosting us so regularly each week.

Ha. I’m glad you remember the Magic 8 Ball too. I agree it was never quite reliable. 🙂 But we had a lot of laughs with it back in the day, deciding which boy we would marry, etc. Just minor things like that.
