only the beginning

Today the news was saturated with stories of Dr. Martin Luther King.  One man, one faithful man, changed the course of history. He mattered; he made a difference regardless of the struggle…

Jodi and I will be leaving to go work in Swaziland, Africa soon. The decision to go, in a nutshell, is rooted in our desire to matter, to make a difference in this world. We just want our lives to count. For us, this is bigger than just being on an occasional service project.  This is a call from deep within. We know that God has made a place for us in Swaziland and that our move there is only the beginning of this journey…

To name a few “WOW” moments:

*Jodi put our house on the market and 14 days later we had a cash buyer with no agent who wanted to close within a week… Yep, in this economy and housing market, I would say that is a miracle. We definitely could not have made that happen.

*Random people we are meeting for the first time seem to be so exited about this upcoming adventure.  One morning Jodi met a man, who strolled into her office while waiting on the office next door to open. Within half an hour this man was re-living his “best” years when he worked as an agricultural missionary in Africa. He was so moved by Jodi’s story about what we’re doing that he came back the next day to get info on becoming a financial support for us.

…So many more stories already. I know one thing for sure – God is who He says He is. He is faithful, especially when we step into our purpose, our passion, the thing we we’re created to do.  Blessing always follows obedience.

This is our Journey. Jodi and I will share more with you soon…..
