Caborca is tomorrow. And honestly, I am exhilarated.
Naturally, I tend to be somewhat of a skeptic. Pessimism runs in my sinful veins, and once I get used to something, I'm just that. Used to it. Apathetic. Oh, how I hate the word, and how often I resort to it. But, guess what? God is bigger. Yep, that's right.
In Caborca, I have seen God work. And I mean, really, really work. The change-lives, split-the-skies, jaw dropping kind of 'work'. Wow, what an opportunity to be a part of His work again - I think sometimes we fail to realize what a blessing it is to be used by Him! It's funny how distracted we - well, I know I - get distracted here. And even without all the modern conveniences (oh boy, no Internet!!!), life goes on, and it's pretty good, too. A few (thick!) sweaters, a Bible, notebook, yes, some deodorant... not to mention great fellowship... Caborca existence is a beautiful thing. As an added bonus, there's lots of opportunities to come out of the good old comfort zone - especially if you happen speak Spanish. (!) Mine is a formidable thing - complete with thick hardened walls surrounding its small space. So, I get a chance to step out in faith, and you... well... pray hard, those of you staying... that His name - and His alone - might be glorified.
God's going to work, I know it. He's going to do great things. May I work towards great things myself - for Him.

I have been praying for the trip already today and I am so glad that the team made it to Caborca safely. I can't wait to hear all the stories about what amazing miracles God will have done on this Caborca trip. I know that God will grace your tongue and give you so much boldness to share fearlessly the word of truth. God bless sis, Brent
P.S. Way to go with the deordorant, for remember our Caborca theme verse: Joel 2:20b in the KJV: )
Hey!
I finally got to meet you on this trip... ;)
Man, were those good times or what?
It's great to look back and see how faithful God has been over the past 10 months or so (funny, for me it feels like it was about 10 years ago).
I will never forget the night we came up with Jack and the Giant... what a splendid meeting of the minds ;)
