Okay, physically I am in Santo Cafe in Curridabat, San Jose, Costa Rica. But, that is not really what y’all wanna know is it. But, this is some of the best coffee I have had. But, my coffee obsession aside.
I love the life has called me to. I love the community, the amazing people I get to meet and serve and the new and exciting places the Lord takes me to. I am perfectly comfortable living life out of a backpack. And I think that might be a problem. This life used to be the most challenging thing I have done. And don’t get me wrong there are still hard moments and there are still challenges. But, nothing in comparison to my first outing.
I can’t believe I am going to say this but I want to be more uncomfortable. Which leads into this next part I am looking into ministries in the US where I can live and invest into an area and people on a long term basis. It is weird, but being in the states with all the comfort and opportunities it is harder for me to choose to live my life of abandonment.
So, planting roots is my next great adventure which is crazy. It makes me think of ‘Wild at Heart’ by John Eldridge; he described the males journey in stages I am ready to establish a kingdom (obviously, under Jesus).
Right now I am applying to work with a program based out of Denver, Colorado called Denver Gap year. They are a discipleship program with the age group I feel heaviest on my heart and I am excited to see the Lord work through this process with me. And to do the work that the Lord has lead me to in the US. Seems like a rare opportunity.
I will keep y’all updated on this process that the Lord has me in. And I will have a ministry update soon for both of my teams.
