I confess that I am foolish. In my drive and ambition I have forged ahead thinking that I personally can make a difference, even change the world. I cannot. I have schemed ways to be generous for the sake of generosity and self-medication. I confess that I strive to write my own story, instead of being obedient.
Nothing short of the power of God can end poverty and save the nation of South Africa. Not me, not Bono, not you. I confess that sometimes I have set my hope in this organization or that one thinking, "this could be the answer, it is SUCH a good idea."
Those actions born our of ambition and not love do not reflect the person of Jesus.
God -- help me Galatians 2:20.

Peters family, we are just acclimating back to the Eastern time zone. HI is 6 hours earlier, so it was pretty easy going there and basically a night mare coming back. I am enjoying reading your blog! We are so sad we missed your last few days before the big trip, but it is so great to read the details! Thanks for sharing.
