Sun rising

All of the pieces fell into place.  Our bathroom project wrapped up.  A great home in the perfect location came available for sale.  Our house sold quickly in a hot sellers market.  And our new home finally closed, after a long wait for financing.  The direction of our lives was changing from upward mobility to down-sizing our self-interests.  A new day was dawning and rays of revelation were piercing a fresh into our unchecked cultural norms.

We were relocating from a large finished house, into a smaller retro home.  Our new location would allow us to live next to an elementary school made up of 95% ESL students on free and reduced lunch, just a block from immigrant apartment life.  The new intent for our family is to walk alongside those for whom life is difficult, and in doing so, come to know Jesus to a greater depth.

After all, Jesus has always been found incarnate among the hurting, the broken, and those struggling in disparity.  And a love such as that, covers over all creation and is acutely experienced by those in need.

Psalm 50
The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth, from the rising of the sun to where it sets.  The Name, is full of awe and might.  He speaks and his words become alive.  He summons and creation changes.  His breadth covers over all the earth and no place is unknown to Him.
