Mrs. Peach: Peach Passions: A love for a Nation.

Guatemala.

I talk about her all the time.

Dream about her, think of her on a daily basis.

Many of you know this by now that I have a strong passion for Guatemala.

Seriously.

This time last year I was gearing up my mind and soul to spend a week serving the people of

Panajachel, Guatemala through North Metro Church and Redeemer's House International.

I never knew the impact this week would have on my life.

I was an unforgettable, indescribable week.

I was moved to tears, laughter, and to my knees.

I put my muscles, sweat, athletic ability, and heart into serving the lovely people and children of Pana.

I learned more about my savior and about myself.

I was blown away by the faith shown by these people.

We see them as having almost nothing and they are in constant smiles and joy

because their hearts are filled with the love of Christ.

These families served me more than I served them.

There is not a language barrier strong enough in the world to get in the way of sharing the love of Jesus.

It blows my mind.

I do not think anyone will ever understand how much I love Guatemala and serving the people of this nation.

I do not think anyone will ever understand what happened to me that week I was there.

I do not think anyone understands how serious I am about wanting and needing to go back.

I know God is calling me back.

When I think about my passion and love for Guatemala and how I cannot put it into words. How only I can sort of understand it, but still can't completely wrap my mind around it.

I multiply that by at least 1000 and realize this is doesn't begin to scratch the surface of God's love for us.

I remember hearing Exodus 3:12 in church a few months ago.

The end of the verse reads, "you shall serve God on this mountain."

First word in my head was Guatemala.

I haven't gone a day without praying and thinking of Guaty since.

I don't know if it was flipping back and seeing that verse in my notes at church today or receiving an e-mail/update from a dear friend who is serving in Pana...

But I felt the urge to share with you the conversations I have in my brain on a daily basis.
