In 2009 we decided to take a leap off a cliff. Lonny resigned from a steady career and we headed off into the unknown forest of self employment and irregular paychecks. But we didn't jump blindly, we held fast to our parachute of faith, listening to that little voice inside that told us there was a new path that we needed to pursue, that it was not an ordinary path, and that we'd know it when we saw it.
We searched for months, wondering why our lives couldn't just be normal and predictable, and we sometimes felt nervous - no, panicked - about what was ahead and if we would really make it through. But we put our trust in God, knowing that there was a specific path that he wanted us to take. We knew that He would guide us and bless us as we put our faith in Him.
And He truly has worked miracles in our lives.
Our unusual journey has led us to find our real passion - the reason we are here on the earth - to help the people of developing countries find their way to success through teaching skills of self reliance and principles of endowed prosperity.
We are still on our journey of faith, and the road less-traveled is not always easy. Sometimes it's littered with stumbling blocks and our vision is diminished by thick fog, but it's an extraordinary and rewarding journey, and we wouldn't trade our unique life-path for anything. It's so refreshing to awake each morning with anticipation and excitement, wondering what lies ahead of us each day.
We hope that as you visit with us through our blog, you will enjoy learning about our journey and come to love the many amazing peoples of the world as we have.
