Life Theme

“You are my strength when I am weak. You are the treasure that I seek. You are my all in all.”

I don’t know what it would take to be able to say that every moment of ever day, but there are those times when you really know God and don’t want anything else aren’t there? I hope those times start to last and the distraction become less and less prevalent.

My life has a theme. A theme in all of my teaching, it’s the lens through which I read the Bible, it’s my approach to life. To me, everything pretty much comes down to relationships and helping people have healthy relationships with people and God. And it’s heartbreaking to see so many broken relationships. People don’t understand who God really is and therefore don’t trust him. People are hurtful. People have enemies, manipulating friends, tension in their marriages. And I don’t think anyone expected the bumps they find in their road. That’s also the reason I love to teach about God, the reason why I’m a missionary living in Colombia. I really believe knowing God and living like he taught could change everything. Those are just my musing recently.

Now for the Esperanzas de Vida update: Today Ana Cristina and I leave for Bogota for a week. We are attending a conference about creating new projects for ministry. I think it will be kind of intense, we have to presenting our project the last day. But it is a God send that this is available right now, because even though we know about counseling and loving people, we have no idea when it comes to all the logistics of starting a new ministry. Cristina is also still in the process of applying for her visa so we can visit the states for more training. Please pray that her interview at the embassy will go well.

Besides that, life is always an adventure. My best friend just got a motorcycle. And keeping to his promise, he let me be the first to drive it. It was fun, maybe a little stressful for him. Today I have my second less: where the break is and how to use it. Have a wonderful weekend... I’m signing out to go spend some quality time with Jenkins.
