We had another weekly meeting last night for the formerly known Vida Nueva Upland church. Although we are in a "prenatal" stage as we develop the architecture of this replant, there's excitement among the small group of people to venture out into the unknown.

In our Sunday meetings, we've been talking about going over to "the other side," or next level, be it in our relationship with God, family, other people, job, etc...including as a church. In the last few weeks, we've been reviewing Abraham's story, especially in the beginning of his journey out of the known and comfortable. God calls him to leave his country, family and father's house and quest into the unknown. God gives him awesome promises, but he doesn't tell him exactly where he's going. It appears as though he gives him hints here and there, but regardless, he does want Abraham to trust him on this trek.

So, we're on a journey...to who-knows-where. God has definitely been giving us hints here and there, and even though things aren't crystal clear, we've definitely made the decision to obey and trust him. Despite the apparent uncertainty (not to be confused with doubt or lack of faith, btw), there's a peace in our hearts and minds as we journey with God.
