Resolve!

Resolve is a funny thing. It doesn't mean that you have all your ducks in a row. It doesn't mean that the way ahead is even clear. What it does mean is that no matter what you are going to head THAT WAY!

Our problem has been, 'what way?' In a sense we are asking, 'What do we really want.' In another sense we are saying, 'Do we really want to pay that price.' One of our greatest assets is encouragers. Quite frankly our friends know we are crazy, that we take risks. They may not understand and definitely won't try to follow us, but they can see us in a sense better than we see ourselves.

Last week was a great example. I had my lowest point yet. Absolutely low, depressed, anxious and saying SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN. The first thing to happen was some friends had us over to sit on their porch. They had been praying for us and had an idea of serving us communion. The word, thought they had was simple, 'Manna.' An image of God providing in deserts. Something that I had often wondered if God would do for me and many times seen the answer to be yes. My trouble is always believing in this present moment will the answer be the same. (guys a great word thanks).

I was still left with the though....'BUT SOMETHING STILL HAS TO GIVE.' The next day through some bizzare circumstances a guy came to the house to look at the possibility of buying it. Weird, but awesome.

Since then there have been many-encouragers. Even though we don't have an answer, at least through it all I am resolved to keep going.
