The word above is of my own creation. Maybe it isn't a word but it is from old and it stands for something I am. In fact, you and I alike. We are "Made in the image of Christ." Who would have thought that three to four years ago a name (mitioc) for a clothing line would be the title of the first of many blogs? His mysterious hand is amazing!
I am pleased to have you follow me on this journey of mine. I am embarking on an adventure of sorts. Wednesday I will be leaving to join missionaries, Joil and Leah Marbut in Ecuador. South America's brisk atmosphere of wonder and intelligence is about to show me how much I don't know. But I will learn. What a blessing! This is an adventure to be sure of.
Last year I had the pleasure of working with my church's team in Ecuador. Last year was my first time out of the U.S. and I knew then it wouldn't be the last. Someone once told me you know when you are passionate about something when it makes you cry, angry, jealous, love and hurt etc, etc. The hurricane that stirs up the prettiest of sunny days and waters a burden on your heart, that is your passion. Passion I have for the mission field. However, passion is not all that sets my heart ablaze. God's heart for these peoples, and all people is a father to my passion. My heart is to bring His love to all.
I will rest with Joil and Leah Marbut. I told Leah "I'm a hard worker. Put me to work." I am going to serve for a little over five weeks. Touching the untouchable and loving those who have lost sense of love and view of hope. I hope you follow me on this journey as I write. You are just as much apart when you remember me in your prayers as well as my most respected new mentors, Joil and Leah.
From His servant heart to you, God bless you.

I for one am honored to be welcomed to this journey. I like what is said about determining your passion. Hmmm...
