Though I have chosen to keep and maintain the blog that I began when I first traveled to Peru, I renamed it. This is a new chapter with a renewed vision. "Searching for Sunshine" is in honor of my Abraham, whom I have always likened to sunshine itself. Warm and full of life, he spread joy wherever he went. For those of you that will be following my journey, it is important that you get to know him.
It's been five years since my last time in Peru. As I prepare to return to the place that was so foundational in my walk with the Lord, it's impossible to know just what to expect. Below I have attached my 'Plan of Action', but it is very fluid and subject to direction from the Lord. As He leads me, I will report. As soon as I begin my search, I will be posting video updates, as well.
