In the midst of the collage of randomness that has been my life for the past week, I have found myself laying on the living room floor each morning, in front of the fireplace, reading the Bible. It's a good place to find myself!
I'm on the last month of a "Bible in a year" schedule. Today's reading was Ezekiel 33. Here is an excerpt:
7 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.
Does that strike anyone else the same way it does me?! I know that this passage is God speaking to Ezekiel about prophesying to Israel, but wow, does that apply to us now too?? I believe it does. I believe that the Lord at certain times lays it on the hearts of His children to speak to a non-believer, be it about salvation, sin, etc. And it's not an easy thing to carry out that task! But just read that passage again, it's pretty self-explanitory of God's command concerning obeying what He asks us to do.

¡Tuanis! Estoy tan contenta recibir tu carta en mi blog. (I don't know if there is a Spanish word for blog or not :) )
After I read your response to my blog, I checked yours out. It is awesome! It is so cool to find someone else who is just as passionate about Central America and the missions field as me. I hope we stay in touch and can chat and exchange stories of our experiences abroad. I think it would be seriously cool to talk with you more. I will be praying for your support-raising for Mexico and please let me know more about that, I don't have much but if I can help out at all, I would like to. Especially because I *know* that need to get where you know God wants you to be. Dios te bendiga. Cuidate mucho :)
