adios Chapala, Mexico

Due to some things that have happened in Ellen's family we are leaving Mexico and moving back to Oregon. God had a season for us to be here and we did what he asked us to do. We have talked to our pastor and due to the situation going on with Ellen and her family, he also felt it was the best that we leave. It is hard and we will miss our children and church family. We have close friends in Portland that will be looking for a place for us to stay. I will be looking for a job and Ellen will be doing hair again.
I ask God, why did you bring us here?
He answers saying, we needed to grow more spiritually and to be of service to the children in the shelter.
I also have been leading praise ans worship in our church and perhaps it has given me experience for another church we will be attending.
We will be moving out toward the end of the week. Driving to Phoenix and visiting my family. We then will go to visit Ellen's family and finally settle in Portland area .
Today in my last worship service at our church, I led them in The Potter's Hand.
It reminded me that I am being molded closer to his image.

Take me , Mold me Use me, Fill me
I give my life to the Potter's Hand.
