Job 42:5

I Have heard of You,by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You! Job 42:5

One of God's greatest desires is to make Himself known to us and lead us into a more intimate relationship with him. throughout the Bible He demonstrates His desire to have a friendship with us. He is not as much interested in us reaching our destination as He is in the knowledge of Him we gain while we are on the JOURNEY. He wants us to know Him.
When God instructs us to do something based on our knowledge of Him, He moves our relationship from mental to Experimental. God doesn't just want us to hear about him but to experience him in our lives.
This is truly what my family is being blessed to do, Experience God. And it is Awesome. We just sit this morning looking out our apartment lookin at the beautiful landscape and and feeling the breeze blow through the window and hearing all 3 of our children playing and all we could say is "Ain't God Good"
Without the knowledge of God obedience to him would have been more difficult, if not impossible. The more you believe about who God is and what he is able to do, the more willing you will be to obey what he asks.
When Carrol and I were making our final decision whether to come and foster Josie taking the risk of not knowing when we could come home, and the worries of danger for our family, and definatly finacial, the decision came down to the fact that we just didn't want to miss what God had for us and always wonder. So now believe me when I say the Lord is always worth the risk. This is the most amazing thing being here in Guatemala that I could have ever imagined.

MY CUP OVERFLOWETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
