Peace Be The Journey!

For those of you who don't know "Peace be the journey" is a quote from the movie Cool Runnings. It came to mean a lot to me on my mission. At particularly hard time on my mission my little sister sent me a letter that had that quote written on it and I adopted it as my motto. Here is what "Peace be the journey" means to me. Life is crazy and if you haven't figured that out yet you are going to soon. Life seems to rage about with trials stacked upon trials. We cannot control life no matter how hard we try what we can control is ourselves. So to me "Peace be the journey" is not peace in the world around us but it is peace inside us. That inner peace cannot be taken by anyone unless we let them take it. We are in control of that peace. I need peace in this world and the inner peace may be the only way I can really find it. I hope that all of us can find a way for peace to be our journey. 

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

John 14:27
