A whirled view. Mexico style.
Tomorrow we begin the biggest adventure our family has had so far.
8 days. 35 people. Serving this mission organization in Mexico alongside other volunteers and local staff.
The little girl in that picture up there? The one with the iron will and the endless imagination? She wants to be a missionary. A lifetime call no matter where she lives.
See that little boy? The one with the perfect rhythm and the need to pack and carry and move and create?He wants to be a drummer and a guitar player. And he wants everything, everything, to be fair.
See that incredibly handsome man? And the woman in the middle? They discovered a long time ago that true magic that occurs when they get to work together and focus on the same thing in ministry. And they don’t get to do that very often.
We bring all of our hopes, all of our strengths, all of our weaknesses to this trip. And we want to learn how to serve… how to listen… how to see. I want to see my kids’ eyes open to a larger world… to a larger picture of God’s work done by God’s people all over God’s creation. And we are excited to meet Lorena, who we’ve been sponsoring since December.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to post during our trip. Today, I simply ask that you pray for us. Pray for the group we are traveling with. Pray that we will be willing to serve in whatever way is needed. Pray for our kids, that they will gracefully move into a new place, schedule, world. Your prayers will join those of our family and our church.
Thank you so much.
