The title of this may not make much sense, but read on. It comes from a post my friend Laura wrote this morning. She and her family will be leaving soon to live in Honduras, working with orphans and bringing Christ to a remote part of that country. She wrote:
I believe God has given each of us our very own ‘Honduras.’ He desires that His children walk this earth with eyes wide open, scales removed; awake to the people in our midst; alive to the opportunities we have to deeply love. Honduras just happens to represent awakening in my life… what does God use to awaken you?
It has been awesome to watch the change in their lives from the time that we first met them (four years ago?) to now. God has truly wrapped this mission around their hearts, not just of Alex and Laura but their children as well. I am in awe of what they are about to do.
What has awakened you? What is God using to stir your passion for Him? For me it is studying and learning which in turn is giving me a great desire to teach. I want to use the knowledge that I’m pursuing to enable and equip those I come into contact with. I can’t explain how much I’m looking forward to starting up small groups again, not so I can browbeat people with big theological words (forgive me if I do), but so that we can all grow in Christ together, learning from each others lives, from our combined victories and defeats.
Do you know what it is that God has called you to do? Are you willing to have your life turned upside down by what God has given you a passion for? Alex and Laura have been and are willing to leave everything and everyone they have known to pursue God’s heart in Honduras. Are you willing to do the same for your Honduras?
Add me to your reader!
