And finally, the fundamental reason we chose Ajijic for our year abroad: we’ve sensed God’s leading to come here.<\/p>\n
We’re Christians, and we’ve been praying for God’s guidance throughout this process.\u00a0One way I sense His leading is through peace\u2014or the lack of it\u2014in my heart. Many times over the last two years Angela and I have discussed an option, settled on a choice, then woke up the next day unsettled. Our friends will tell you about the many times when they’ve heard us say, “We’ve decided to go to this place!”,\u00a0then discover us talking about someplace completely different a week later. (At this point, some of them probably won’t believe we’re going to Ajijic, either, until we’re actually there.)<\/p>\n
But with Ajijic, we have felt peace. It’s kinda cool, actually. We feel peace about our decision to spend a year abroad.\u00a0My coworkers feel peace (mostly) about me working remotely. My children are excited about spending a year in M\u00e9xico. And we feel peace about Ajijic.<\/p>\n
Frankly, this\u00a0town isn’t at all what we had in mind when we started this journey. We thought we’d be helping out at an orphanage, or a girl’s home, or a school. We thought we’d be in a more economically-challenged area. We thought we’d be participating in some mission associated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church.\u00a0But Ajijic has none of these, from what we can tell.<\/p>\n
Still, God has something in mind for us.\u00a0We believe God wants us in Ajijic.\u00a0We have peace about this decision. So off we go on an adventure together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
