We are brought up these days as dreamers. The dreams that have been ingrained in us usually involve large homes, great jobs and big bank accounts.
We often describe at some point coming to a fork in the road of our life, and we picture that fork being two pronged. Maybe that fork really has three prongs. One prong is the turn that gets us off course onto a dark road of sin and a sure path to hell. The middle prong looks a lot like the dream we had for our lives. There is nothing wrong with being prosperous, we can still serve God on this path. The third prong is labeled "a different path", on this path God ask you to put aside your earthly possessions and to use your life to bring glory to him. This path may be a little bumpier along the way, but the rewards and blessings you receive along the way make the journey all the more enjoyable.
This is path our family will be taking and we seek you prayers along the way.
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? (Matthew 16:26 NIV)
