Daniel

Daniel is an interesting story.  He grows up in a faith based family focused on letting Jesus guide their lives.  He experiences love, affection, support, understanding, & encouragement.  Then, at age 7 he runs away from home to live on the streets and apart from the unconditional love of who he is.  He learns how to fight, swear, win, deceive, manipulate, triumph, extort, and much more as he finds a life for himself away from "home."

Now 14, he is living at a milk farm in the hills of Colombia, torn between what he knows is best for him and what has worked so well for those 7 years of his life while on the streets.  How does he react?  Does he swing a punch or embrace with a hug?  Does he deceive and trick or encourage and lead?  He has a difficult path ahead of himself and I will be interested to see where he goes.  Yet, I'm confident of this, he is struggling towards the right things and soon enough, will find the victory that he is looking for.

Am I doing the same?
