How in the World do you pack for Japan?

I'm beginning to see the Biblical truth of Jesus' words when He said, "Sell all your possessions and follow Me." How does one really pack to live overseas? I am no expert, but I'm learning that simplicity has a lot to do with it! After several packing attempts (and finally the help of my amazing Sister-in-Law Becky who is the packing champion), I managed to get all my neccessiates into 3 big bags and 1 small carry-on. Right now, I am feeling the sadness of leaving my loved ones and stepping out into the unknown, but the Lord reminds me not to "worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand." Phil. 4:6-7 AMEN to that and PRAISE the LORD! So if you are reading this, I ask that you pray for God's peace to rule in my heart asI fly over to Japan and excitedly anticipate all that the Lord is going to do!

Adventure, here I come!
