Joshua in L.A.

I've decided to start reading through the book of Joshua for the next few weeks.

I've always been interested in wondering what happened to Rahab, what were the spies doing at her house in the first place [just because it was closest to the wall, did they rescue her from some jackass, or...*ahem* Hey, you never know], what did the children think when the walls fell down and people started slaughtering? Were great works of art destroyed? And what did the Angel of the Lord look like? How freaked out was Joshua [did he pee himself]?

Anyway, I've read chapters 1-6 [so it's been almost a week] and I'm to the part where Jericho has fallen down and Rahab's family is safe and has been living among the Lord's people ever since, through the bloodlines.

I was thinking about Joshua, the walls of Jericho, and the courage needed to stay strong in the face of uncertainty when my husband commented yesterday that sometimes, he feels a deliberate push to be a missionary in L.A.

[I wasn't sure where he was going to say so I was bracing myself for some forgotten country...although L.A. is a really tough area, at least I don't have to learn a completely new language - just the vocab changes]

What if? What if we decided to move out to L.A. and work and in the meantime, show people what Christians are like? Messed up people living in grace and love with the Creator of the Universe? What would that be like? I vote epic. Epic as in, God somehow works through us and brings lots of people to Himself - and helps Stu begin his writing/teaching of film career.

It would be interesting. So I think we're going to pray about it and see where the Lord leads...of course, this *probably* won't happen overnight - Stu's got one year of school left and our lease isn't up until December. But it's a thought, and something that could happen eventually. I hope when the time comes to consider our options, that we listen to what God's got in store for us, because guaranteed, that will be the best thing for us, even if it is a battle.

So if you think about it, please pray. I'm going to be praying as well. We'll see what God says.

Love you all. :)
