You can't get anywhere if you don't start somewhere.

     That is probably the most basic rule when it comes to travel, travel for vacation, travel on our career path, even travel for our life. Each persons starting point is different, as is their end place. Physically we (hopefully) all start the same, as babies, but spiritually we're like snowflakes. Each spirit and faith grows and molds separately, two people could have the exact same life experiences yet come away with different spiritual views, but if they've not been given anything to build their faith on, both will crumble. That's where we come in, we are the carpenters and foundation layers with our trucks full of timber and concrete and it is our job to help other people build upon the foundation that is our God. In Matthew 28:19 Jesus tells us to "go and make disciples of all the nations...in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." Boom! There's our starting point wrapped up in a pretty little bow. All travel uses some sort of guidance source: map, GPS, other people, and sometimes that travel can be a little scary to do alone and that's where we come in, again, we are the hands and feet, not only for those just starting the journey but also for those who have been traveling for a long time. We can be guides for others on their journey and help them find and stay on the path towards Christ and as guides we are equipped with our own GPS (God, Prayer, and Scripture) that we use to lead others. However, we can't do our job as guides unless we do our job as builders, helping people find the right place to lay the foundation for their faith. Read Matthew 28:19 and pray that God will give you (and me) the words, wisdom, and opportunities to lead others to Him.

God is good.
