More Packing Fun...

It's more than enough.

Well, the group packing was finished on Saturday, but the Karge family is still going strong. While trying to get everything I need for eleven days in Haiti stuffed into a carry-on is difficult, trying to anticipate the needs of three children who will also be away from home for eleven days is by far the greater of the two evils.


It has actually been a great exercise in "What do I REALLY need?" Also, it puts all that I have into better perspective: "I really own 10 solid colored t-shirts?" Being a person that enjoys the simplicity that comes from owning less stuff, I was surprised to learn that (when not looking through the American lens) Im a shopping happy, materialistic, sale-monger.

"You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God."- 2 Corinthians 9:11.  This applies to so much more than just stuff, and Im excited to share every gift I have been given. These are the bits of wisdom God has been sending my way while packing. I can't wait to see what He reveals when we are actually serving.
