The realization struck us about 2 weeks ago... that we left everything we knew on January 24, 2012 - boarded a plane for a new life in Spain... and mass chaos descended...
:/
Would we still have gone had we known all we would face? If we had known the difficulties that lay ahead? Had we known that things would not turn out like we had "dreamed"?
I am not sure that we would have gone if we had known the path before us.
However, yet do we trust that our lives and our days are in the hands of our maker. And it is HE that directs our steps... and it is HE that ordains each day of our lives and our paths for us. I can say that now...
...but a few months ago when I was scared, sick, overwhelmed, lost, angry, and desperate - I just kept asking God, "WHY????"
I do "know" that God DOES work ALL things together for his good. That there is a plan in the mess. There is a purpose.
And we are beginning to see more and more light shining on our path.
Brad received an invitation this week to be a part of a small team that redefines the way we use media within a certain missions group. Had we not walked THIS journey, the journey of our entire ministry, and arrived PRECISELY at this place and this moment - would he have the opportunity to be a part of something of this magnitude? Not sure. But I believe GREAT things are coming.
I posted this to twitter and Facebook today:

I dream of using media to accelerate the powerful truth of how we can have a real relationship with Jesus... to people who have not heard of His awesome love #mediathattransformsKnowing God has CHANGED my life! So thankful God rescued me from the world and then He rescued me from MYSELF! Ugh! And Yay God!
DREAMING that God is about to blow up some barriers to reaching the unreached through media - and so humbled that we get to be a part of it!
