My time in DC or I should say Virginia is coming to a close. Tonight at midnight I am getting on a bus and going to New York where I will be boarding a jet plane to head to Central America. Now I know that I will have some pretty confused family and friends out there reading this. You are probably saying, "But I thought you were going to Bulgaria this month. Well, as we all know plans change. Life changes! In one instant we can set into motion something more significant than our wildest dreams. I can not for see the finish, but I can only walk diligently on the path of today. My squad is now in preparation to depart to Honduras, a country we were suppose to hit at month nine and not month one!!! It was as if we were celebrating not only the 4th of July, but the greatest news ever. We are celebrating the knowledge that it is by no accident that Bulgaria is not our first destination in this journey. We know God's plans are so different than our own.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord." Isaiah 55:8

His thoughts and paths for us our so much greater than we can ever imagine so we celebrate in that.
