Perspectives

In the spring of 2007, I took a class called Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. This is a fifteen week course that taught about God's heart for the nations and people groups of the world. This class had a huge impact in my life. I went on my first mission trip to Honduras in July of 2007. I returned in October to help with a building project and in the spring of 2008 I spent 10 weeks to get a taste of what long term missions would be like.
I saw God working in the lives of these people, providing for their needs and drawing them to Himself. I got to be a part of the group that started construction of the first evangelical church in Agua Caliente, a village of the Lenca tribe. I also saw the student in the Hope and a Future Program grow in their faith and love for God.
Here is a video of those three trips.

Dancing with God

I found this on Clint's blog and thought you would enjoy it.

Dancing With God
When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".
"God, "u" and "i" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.
This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
please share this message with someone else.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Pray We All Dance Today

Life is a Journey

Here we are again, on the threshold of something new. This is my first attempt at blogging. The reason for this attempt is to share what God is doing in my life. In the last ten years I have been through many things. I went through a painful divorce and saw how faithful God was as He brought comfort and healing. Both of my daughter (Chelsea and Bree) went through their teenage years which were great and also challenging years. God taught how to trust Him and let go of my children. Chelsea and Bree are truly a blessing to me and I thank God for them. There have also been the challenges of work and the stress it brings.
I have experienced the love of God in so many ways, He has set me free to worship Him. I have been brought to tears so many times over His goodness and grace. I have read dozens of books over the years that have helped me get to know Him and love Him. I have spent lots of time reading and studying the Bible which is a treasure chest and a love letter to His children. The Spirit of God has spoke to me many times through His word. He has promised to take care of us if we follow Him, I have found this to be true.
I want everyone to know how great our God is. That He is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do. He is trustworthy.
He will be with us on our journey and we will meet Him face to face at the end of our journey.

Blessings,
Brian
