It all starts...

Isaiah 43:1-2

But now thus says the Lord,

he who created you, O Jacob,

he who formed you, O Israel:

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name, you are mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;

when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,

and the flame shall not consume you.

How the journey to following God varies... each one of us has hundreds of stories of how we found our way. Yet also the common thread of God's calling, direction and companionship are there in our circumstances, consistently giving us reminders that we are not alone. Jesus promises that He will 

The simple words "Follow Me" seem to be the regular way that Jesus rallied His disciples. No fancy mantras or complicated technical details... just an invitation to journey with Him, wherever the path may lead.

David and I as a couple heard that simple "Follow Me" both in our own way, and I do believe we could never have imagined what lay ahead... or the amazing journey with Jesus that we currently walk. 

Follow Jesus to Arnhem Land with MAF? Where is that even? I hope that those of you that are journeying with us have the opportunity to be enriched as we have been as we learn more about who we are being called to sit with, listen to and walk alongside.
