Evidence of Life

Recently I was flying into some place, and as we got closer to the ground, close enough to see in more detail, I began to look around and see if I could make out any people.  It was a little disturbing, as I didn't see anyone for what seemed like a long time.  There was evidence present that people had been there, i.e., buildings, vehicles, improvements to the landscape, but no people.

Kibera Slum, Nairobi, Kenya 2009 – One of the world's largest slums.

Not sure what I was feeling in this whole thing, but it was a distinct feeling, that's for sure.

There is evidence of life all around us, or rather artifacts present that show that life was once present, but may not be as present as it was before.

Will we be content to leave a mark behind that life once existed?  How can we actually help perpetuate the life that is present and take it forward, instead of only leaving monuments that testify that the life that was once there has terribly receded?

Graduating

It's been a while since I posted, so I wanted to give everyone a quick update. We are approaching several big transitions, and would really appreciate your prayer support.

The family and I are preparing for our relocation to the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas. This is something I first started to sense in the fall of 2010, so it has been a long time in the making. Hopefully that means we are prepared. Continue reading “Graduating”

Esperar lo inesperado!

Tu vida será más radiante que el sol de mediodía,
y la oscuridad será como el amanecer. Job 11:17

Este es un versículo que una amiga me compartió mientras le contaba sobre mi último viaje de misiones en México con el ministerio de FX Missions. Le comentaba que mientras visitaban a los niños de Esperanza Viva en Matamoros, decidí al último momento unirme al equipo y hacer el viaje al interior de México en ellos, en ese momento pude sentir de manera palpable el amor de Dios derramado sobre mí.

¡Cuando Dios abre puertas por las que El quiere que camines, realmente no puedes resistirte a eso! Tal vez en algunas ocasiones no estés muy seguro si realmente es Dios, pero definitivamente esta vez no era una de esas ocasiones, claramente pude oír al Espíritu Santo hablándome e invitándome a asociarme con El…. ¡Y no pude resistirme a su invitación! ¡Qué hermoso es caminar en Su perfecta voluntad! Dios y Sus promesas, ¿Cómo resistirse a Él?.

Personal Rendezvous

David's life was different than those who went before him.  God wanted to start something new, a new season in time, and the introduction of that time was wrapped up in David's life, his destiny and calling in God.  In many ways, these things lead David into difficulty and peril, so it wasn't arranged with the priority of David's comfort and / or convenience in mind.  God's will for us can lead us into inconvenience, discomfort and also peril.  But that doesn't mean we should try to avoid His will, or that the costs introduced by His will should be avoided.
