Before we get started I have to apologize. During my quiet time this morning I felt convicted heavily. You see, I was not planning on sharing much with you all about what has been going on because I was afraid of what you might assume or say about us. Afraid that I would be misjudged for following a call. Misjudged as rash in my decision making, a runner some might say, even a traitor. I am familiar with that pain, the pain of being put down because my decisions have not been popular. I have lost people in my life those who I thought would always be there because of my decision to follow Christ especially when that decision led us to Panama. So the decision to come to the US, I knew, would not be much different. So I am sorry for trying to conceal a part of this journey from you due to fear. I apologize for assuming the worst in you. I am sorry for doing the very thing that has been done to me. I hope you will forgive me.
With that, I refuse to fear man and what he might think or say. Not sure if you noticed but on our facebook page I called our family “the book of Acts Church” and I meant that. What the Apostles did and the lives the Church lived was not popular. It was a life that led many of them to die terrible deaths, to loose so much but in doing so they gained so much. They were a part of a “move of God” and that is my family.
We will go wherever he says to go, we will do whatever he says to do, we will be whatever he says to be and we’ll do it because we have confidence not in ourselves but in our God who made us sons and daughters.
He adopted us and as a good child I will obey him because I know he has my best interest in mind whether I see that fruit now or in the New Jerusalem. Even unto death.
If you would like to read more of the story behind our “visit” to the US feel free to read the next blog which I will put up soon. And what does that word “visit” mean, I will explain that more too.
Thanks again for coming along this journey with us. We are the book of Acts Church.
