And now we have returned. We are back in "canadia" and trying to make sense out of what we've just been through and what that might mean for tomorrow. For some it is a bitter return to the mundane and problems we left behind and that is sad. In a way, it's like God is in kentucky and not here...but that simply is not true.
For all it's a time to reflect on what God did inside and how to respond to Him and be more in His will.
Hard or easy, we are back and we will be here for awhile.
We believe He has asked us some questions and given us some considerations. Are there poor people in our neighbourhoods that we might have overlooked? Does poverty have a place amongst us and are we doing anything about it? Are we sharing the love of Jesus with others in tangible ways - like we just did in Kentucky? If we are not asking these questions and if we are not pursuing the answers then what are we doing? Sadly...NOTHING.
Our God is a great God and He has to be because we are not so great. Our world is not so great...He is. If we follow Him into His will and into the tough stuff - then will our adventures be great again?!? I believe so.
May God stir our hearts to follow Him. May He stir our hearts to bring others with us. May this journey be a real adventure, hard and difficult, full of love and grace, sweat and tears and full of His love.
