Water Stations

We have been on this journey of itinerating (read: bringing awareness to the needs in India and raising our operating budget) for 16 months now.

People ask how we do it ... how do we continue to keep on keepin' on???

First, it's our passion.

You know the saying love what you do and do what you love?

Well, we are.

Secondly, we've figured out that there are lots of 'water stations' along the way.



You know when you run a marathon or walk in a STL walk-a-thon (hint hint) and every so often there is a water station where you can grab a drink and keep on walking (or running ...). It just hydrates you and keeps you going.



Before you got that drink your mind was wondering to determine just how much longer you could keep running or just keep moving. You might have been coming to the realization that you are trying to do a little bit more than what you are capable of.

But then that refreshing water is handed to you ...

Everything changes.

You, all of the sudden, feel like you could go a little farther.

You know and are determined to finish to the end and not quit a moment before.

You realize that it is more than what you have inside, but you gain the strength to keep going.

God is our water station. People that encourage us, believe in us, support us are our water station.

Churches that have missions in their DNA, that 'get it' when God said, "Go into all the world ..." are our water station.

It's been amazing these past 16 months how just as we were feeling like we couldn't run another mile, or when we were totally dehydrated a 'water station' showed up.

God orchestrates it all. He knows what we need before we even realize it.

As we have stepped out to do what He has asked us to do, knowing full well that it's totally not us and way more than anything we could even think to accomplish on our own, He has met us every step of the way.

EVERY step. Without fail.

Our God is just awesome like that.

Thank you to those that have been used by God to be our 'water stations.' You probably didn't even know it, but we know it and we will never forget it.
