We now live in California, serving in a ministry that is nothing short of amazing. God has come in and turned my little family's life upside down... We have never felt so "right side up".
Anytime something's not going well, or seems that way, I sometimes sarcastically quip... "Well, at least we're in CA... God could have sent us to Ethiopia or something!." He didn't, not yet anyway. He sent us here to Roseville, CA... home of heat (dry, of course).
So we live day by day by day... That's the only way to do it out here. God has blessed us beyond measure, and there really is nothing to complain about.
On a recent (and rare) date, Alison and I stumbled upon a little coffee shop. I would rather drink lighter fluid than coffee, but they also served water (and the place just looked like a cool "date" spot). The inside was decorated with amazing pictures of people from what I assumed was Africa. I was right... Ethiopia to be exact. We sat down and talked about how cool it would be to go there... To experience it first-hand. On each table was a stack of postcards with information about the organization that was responsible for the pictures.
I picked one up... Not because of any message that caught my eye, but because of the title: "Drawn From Water". I just thought it was interesting that the vision God put in me a few years ago... "Closer to the Water", sounded similar (at least in name).
Here is what I found when I got home...
I was taken back. I desperately wanted to help these kids in any way I can. Please go to the drawn from water website, and see if there is any way you can help too. I'm praying about it, and I have a few ideas. God is doing something, and when God lays something on your heart, He doesn't hold back. . .
He's asking me to leap again...
I'm ready.
How high?
Ethiopia?
