We are home...safe and sound!

Well, we did it! We drove 10,500km to Guatemala and Honduras! We can now check that off of our "to do" list. Well, I am not sure it was ever on my "to do" list; that was Rocky's list! No, it was an amazing adventure and an incredible learning experience.
As I look back at our journey, I really am quite amazed at how the Lord guided and directed us. Every step of the way, we could sense His hand upon us.
Every morning we would start our day by reading a chapter out of the Bible, working through one entry from Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest, and then reading a chapter or two from The Power of a Whisper: Hearing God. Having the Guts to Respond, by Bill Hybels.
It was a great way to set the stage for the day. Many years ago, God impressed upon me the passage from Psalm 5, where it talks about seeking God in the morning and then waiting in expectation to see Him move.
Because our regular routines were interrupted and we were journeying through unfamiliar territory, it really caused us to seek the Lord and look for His leading. Rocky liked one description from Bill Hybels' book, "striving to hear God." This is what we did, and you know what? We heard! I guess I still find that incredible - that the God of the universe would be interested in speaking to me. But it is true.
Now that we are home, we are beginning to reflect on the ministries we visited. Just to recap them for all of you:
Adventure in Missions - El Cacao, Atlantica, Honduras.
Loma de Luz - Belfate, Atlantica, Honduras.
Fe Viva - Chiquimulilla, Santa Rosa, Guatemala.
Mano con Mano - San Jose el Yalu, Guatemala, Guatemala.
Each one of these ministries is doing an amazing work and we could see how we could partner with all four, but we know that we need to find one, so we continue to process.
Thank you for praying for us and supporting us as we walk through this time of transition. We are very aware that we are not in this alone, but have many who are partnering with us. For that we are grateful!
Blessings,
Karren
