A place to lay our heads...

Over the past 6 days we have been in two different countries, 3 different states, and slept in 4 different beds.  I think it is safe to say since stepping foot in the USA we have hit the ground running.  In the midst of culture shock, ice-cream overload, and lots of time in the car we can say without hesitation, our hearts are full.
                                                

 

Last night we spent the night at our very first Bed & Breakfast in Michigan in order to be at a BHM board meeting today.  The hostess was named Chi Chi, she used to be the mayor and plays the role of Mrs. Clause every year for the town.  Some things you simply cannot make up :)  Today we spent the day at the board meeting.

The meeting began at 9 a.m. and concluded at 6 p.m.  Although it was quite extensive, we were truly encouraged.  We are so blessed to be part of a ministry that focuses on the Gospel and seeks to bring others into a relationship with the Lord.  The Lord has brought together such a unique team that is seeking hard after Him.  As the day concludes and our heads are spinning I am reminded of Matthew 8, as Jesus talks to a crowd about what it means to follow Him...

¹⁹ Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

²⁰ Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

As believers we are called to seek hard after Christ.  As we seek to follow the Lord's plan for our lives I know there will be struggles.  However, as I fall asleep tonight I thank my God that He has provided, yet again, a place to lay my head...
