ok so it is the beginning of a new year. I already posted that I will be posting a sort of on-line book of pictures and thoughts from my time in Honduras. Part of the reason for that is I feel like I just repeat myself when I blog. ....that my thoughts always seem to revolve around the same theme, [the poor and marginal in our world]..so maybe some picture of how my heart got there will make more sense.
I am not real big on resolutions...in the past I have never been real successful, it usually revolves around my weight...tired of saying that (but maybe I will get a few more pounds off this year)
But I have been thinking about where I am with God and the awareness he has put before me about our world and how I, as a Christian, live with such things. I don't know why God has led me here or why I am so moved by all of injustices in the world, it sure would be easier not to be! Ok, so I know that all of this is purposeful and I must me moved to action in a real way So I've been thinking a lot about what are MY next moves so here are a 5 things I will aspire to this year...
1. Be intentional about my prayer for issues of injustice in our world
2. Continue to be intentional about educating myself about global concerns and act to make my voice heard to those who make global decisions.
3. Not buy anything I do not NEED.
4. Position myself to have more available to those in need.
5. Continue to move Mi Esperanza ahead for the women of Mi Esperanza

now here's a BIG surprise...have been thinking about the same things...what my "moves" for this year are...things I'm truly passionate about that I want to focus in on. The sure would be easier not to be phrase rang so true in these ears and heart...think so often, man my heart didn't hurt near as bad when I could remain ignorant to some of this...but I can't anymore, just can't, and God did that for a reason. I'm with ya sister and sometime soon want to talk to you a little bit about something God has been laying on my heart about Mi Esperanza and get your perspective on it. Karen comes back tomorrow so maybe after that I can call and we can chat or I'll email you...should get a little calmer then.
love you guys.
