God Calling us to Costa Rica

Periodically Dan and I would talk about what we would do after he retired from the Air Force. We had several ideas but we knew we had time to figure it all out. Dan planned on another 6 to 8 years in the service. Then, we went to Costa Rica on a mission trip.

We can make our own plans for our lives but When God shows you His plan it's amazing, refreshing and brings so much peace. While we were in Costa Rica, God was working on us, softening us to His will. By our last day in Costa Rica Dan and I both knew without a doubt that God wanted us to work with the missionaries in Paso Marcos, Costa Rica.

We don't know the first thing about becoming missionaries but we do know that God will guide and provide. If our plans align with God's, we plan on being in Costa Rica by March of 2009 for full time mission work.

Dan and I continue to pray for His will and not ours. We pray that we will be dependent on Him and not on ourselves. It's through a dependancy on Him that we will be able to walk through the plans He has for us.
