Soulmate

For some reason, I have felt exceptionally inspired. And now, after reading Jon's newest blog, I can't keep myself from writing any longer!

A lot is going on right now. I leave for Lima, Peru, South America in 22 days. This is something that I have been looking forward to since I stepped off that plane last year. Peru is the most beautiful, most empty, most heartwrenching country in the entire world. My heart has been drawn to those people since 2006 when I first went there on a missions trip. Now, for the third year in a row, I'm going back.

And now, there's this new thing with Jon and New Orleans. It will be a big change, I know. But you know something? It's gonna be okay. I want to remain in the center of the will of God, and I want Jon to do the same. If God is calling him to New Orleans, then I am perfectly content with him going. I will wait for him as long as it takes. Six months, a year, ten years -- it really doesn't matter.

God told Abraham to get up and go. He did. He took a step of faith that seemed almost INSANE to those around him. And he became the father of the chosen people of the Lord. Wow! Daniel was dragged away from his homeland to serve a pagan king in a foreign land. It must have been one of the hardest things that he had ever experienced in his young life. And yet, God used his captivity to work in the hearts of five different Babylonian kings!

Change can be hard. But if we are following God's call on our lives, it is the best thing we could EVER do! And right now, I hear God calling me to make a lot of changes. It's not been easy! Trust me! But God is on my side, and as long as I am in the center of His will, then I am safe!

Soulmate.
Until the end of time, you are my
Soulmate.
When I get down, you're the one who lifts me up.
In this day and time,
The right one's hard to find.
That's why I'm holding on to you!
In the good and bad and even through the heartache
We've got a special bond that will never break.
'Cause, darling, you and I are
Soulmates.
