Cathy, why don't you take me with you.....

.......these were words that Antonio spoke as he was trying desperately to tell me how to reach Rayitos de Luz. Back2Back has recently purchased new land for this very needy home. The Lord has raise up a bunch of money and B2B is humbled by what God has done. These kids were living in a small home without adequate roof to keep the weather out. They were in a gang ruled neighborhood. Now they have property, a bigger house, chickens, a pool, fruit trees. The blessings have overflowed. However last week I found myself struggling to find the home with the directions that Antonio had offered me. I had turned around too many times to count. My frustrations were rising. Then Antonio said these words that hit me between the eyes. Cathy, why don't you just take me with you....."What do you mean?" I asked. "I mean I'll tell you to get to a landmark and you drive there, then I'll tell you the next landmark? ", he said. OK, and before I knew it we had arrived. This meant so much to me because some mornings I have my quiet times (sometimes great ones) then I get up and go about my day like I'm done with Jesus. Just mark Him off my list. I know God wants me to be going through life hearing from Him and going forward then checking in with a question, prayer or praise, until I reach my next landmark. Today are you taking Him with you? I pray we both do.....
