First Steps

”wherever we want to go in life, that journey begins with the first step and that first step has to be taken in the life in which we find ourselves.”   David Whyte   I am currently in Granada Nicaragua, spending a few days to rest and reflect after leading a parent vision trip with GapM squad.  What a wonderful week…work ministry and community…. As we enter this second act of life, we have a final chance to redirect our thoughts, our mission, our work and our very lives.  The key is it does not have to begin with a complete new location or head...
