People . . .

My new assignment has placed me smack-dab in their path. Yeah, I know. People are everywhere. But, what I do now puts me in an uncomfortable position. I engage.

I step onto a porch, knock on a door, look someone right in the eye, and engage. It’s exhausting and exhilirating.

Before, most strangers that crossed my path stayed at a safe and comfortable distance. Now, I seek out complete strangers to talk to (usually in Spanish).

It’s scary. “If knocking on a stranger’s door doesn’t scare you, then you’re not human.” a wise sage once said.

It is good. It’s good because it is a part of the journey that God has called us to live. Also, it’s good because I am learning to stop relying on myself and start walking in His Spirit.
