New Day | New Year
Every once in awhile I get an itch for change. This doesn't usually occur at the beginning of a new year for me - it usually happens in the spring! [Then again, our winter has felt more like spring this past week, so maybe my biorhythms are confused.]
And maybe it's not a "change" I'm itching for, but something fresh - something adventurous! A change of scenery, perhaps. Three years ago I sold everything I owned and moved to Brazil for six months. THAT sort of thing!
Okay, there is more to the Brazil story than just me wanting to be adventurous. But I'd have to write a lot to explain. So, let's just say that God decided he wanted to get my full attention and that He used a six month trip to Brazil - make that, a life changing six month trip to Brazil. I went there to work with a developing assembly, as their worship pastor, but I received far more from the people and their culture than I could have ever dreamed.
Sometimes I still long for Brazil. I intended to stay for a year [minimum] but had to return because my visa expired. Maybe one day I'll finish my trip.
Maybe NEXT WEEK! [Okay, maybe not. But that's just sort of the mood I'm in!]
