As some of you know, our church has picked an area of downtown Fresno to love on and create community development within the neighborhood. It is silly to think that we can build trust and truly make a difference for Christ if we come in once a week and do some sort of project. For us and a number of other families at our church, we have a heart to not want "their" schools and "their" neighborhood to improve but to come together and help "our" neighborhood come alive. About 6 months ago we bought a house in the neighborhood and put our house up for sale. We rented out the house until our house sold. We didn't know how long that would be but sure enough, last week we got the news that an offer was accepted and that we are officially in escrow. We will be moving in the middle of May.
Especially for me, this is not an easy move. It's so easy for me to want all of the safety and comfort of how I grew up and living in a "nice" neighborhood. I have never had to put ALL of my trust in God like I have the past few months. And will continue to do as we move forward. Maybe that is why God calls us to follow him and put our own comforts aside, so that we truly learn how to TRUST in him and not ourselves. Pray for us as we start this journey!
