I mentioned previously in passing that this year was a year of CHANGE. Many things were foreseen changes such as changing churches, finishing the School of Ministry, etc. The most surprising and unexpected change is happening right now, which is that my parents will be moving in with me.
Last year when I visited my family in Brazil, my mom mentioned that if I ever go to missions, that she plans on going with me. I didn't say anything to her back then but the thought of supporting a ministry in a foreign country AND taking care of my mom at the same time was daunting, considering my mom's health is less than stellar with her high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and 20+ pills she takes a day....
A pastor has mentioned to me a good idea on not compromising our call and at the same time being a son that honor's his parents. With that in mind, I mentioned to my mom that I was willing to live with her while I was in the United States, but that if and when God would call me to the mission field, that she would refrain from following me as it would interfere with my ability to serve God fully. (Can you imagine Paul from the new testament traveling with his mom in tow? heheh)
So I have to change my lifestyle a little to accommodate my parents. No more bachelor pad and convenience (for me) of living in downtown Brea. And time to move closer to church for her comfort.
anybody know of a decent two bedroom in northern Anaheim/Fullerton area that's not too expensive? ![]()
