Lesson Learned the past few days...

I've been reading some of the Compassion bloggers posts about their time in Ecuador.  I came to realize most of us really have no idea what it's like to live in poverty.  Some of the people they have talked to live in a very small brick or stone "hut".   We may not have the money each week to buy the kind of food I would like to make...but at least we have food!  Read this post by Ann Voskamp and you will be forever changed!

On my mind...

People of Ecuador.  It seems God has been opening my eyes more to the people of that country.  It seems to be in my thoughts and prayers so often now.  We are excited to be hosting a missionary family that is headed to Ecuador soon!

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses...

Proverbs 16:9

"A man's heart plans his way,

 But the Lord directs his steps."

Sometimes we need to just step back and let God lead.
