Update from the Field
It’s a wonderful thing…the way that God works. I spoke with Pastor Kris this morning for a few hours and at one point during our conversation he mentioned how the writers of the Bible would repeat things or re-emphasize them in order to reinforce their importance. At the moment I find myself sitting about 3 feet from the chair that I sat in almost exactly one year ago when a trip to Mexico changed my life, and my perception of God and his plan for my life. That trip, that resulted in a book, new friendships, a move to Birmingham, the founding an organization and ultimately a new understanding of surrender to His will, was the turning point in my life thus far. Thus, as I sit here in the coffee shop that we spent our last few moments of our trip at before starting the long drive home a year ago, I can’t help but smile at how God reminds me of the things that I forget sometimes. In times when I get frustrated, lost or confused He always brings me back to where I need to be.
I’m a little more rushed for time than I realized when I started writing this…so I’ll be back in a few days to finish…but be thinking and praying on that…on how God always brings us back to where we need to be…even when we wander or stray. Keep Roger and myself in your prayers as we go back into Mexico in the morning for a few days to finish our documentary. We love you guys and miss you, and appreciate your prayers more than you know. To be continued…

I love it when things come around full circle like that…and how different we are going back to where we started, especially when it’s a good different, a better different. I am really proud of you guys and what you’ve done. Have a safe trip!

That’s awesome. You’ve had quite the year since that trip. I am glad I could be a part of that pivotal event in your life. So, how was Mexico? I will try to call you in a little while.
