In the Meantime

Truly, a map will only tell you where you've been. We can only travel on one road at a time. The same is true of our own lives.
Soon, we will leave San Antonio and head for Mexico. Our purpose is to help a small village in Neuevo Laredo build a church. It is a dangerous area, as the Mexican drug cartels have been raging their war there. From there, we will go to San Diego (with a brief pause in Tucson, AZ) and establish jobs and once again touch, and be touched by the people we will share life with. It is sad to hear people say that a higher power has no hand, or doesn't care about any of our lives. We have met many people that have placed a dot on San Antonio on their map. They have become our temporary neighbors, dinner guests, engagers of conversation, ears that hear and eyes that see what God has done, and has yet to do. We have witnessed to many in this city and are confident that the Lord will (through the changing of their mind and hearts) change the direction of their life.
You see, Life is a journey, not measured in distance or days traveled, but what paths were taken. God will place before you intersections, a chance to believe, to trust. The heart is the compass. It will be turned by the hand of God and say "Follow Me". You can surrender your heart to this new bearing, or just turn away.
As Krisan and I follow Gods direction, our prayer is to place a "cross" in front of people, and trust Him with the rest. We ask your prayers for us, and thank you for them.
