Focused On the Goal

Don’t you love it when something good comes from whatever it is you do?  We are extremely blessed to see the good that comes from what we do here at Signs of Love time and time again.  It helps to fuel us along, and keeps us focused on the goal (Philippians3.14).

We continue to toil, and keep sight of the goal for those like Enrique.  Enrique surprised me beyond belief a while ago. Enrique has been involved in our ministry for over 15 years (he's the one highlighted in the book Enrique Speaks With His Hands), and although we have witnessed God working miracles in his life, Enrique has extreme challenges in learning. We’ve been teaching the Deaf basic doctrinal Truth - 12 pillars of Christian faith that we call “The 12 Truths.”  In essence, it’s the Apostle’s Creed. I was visiting with Enrique and he says to me, “Let me show you what I’ve learned.” And he continues to rattle off the 12 Truths…perfectly.  I had some doubts though if it was just something he had miraculously memorized or if he really understood what these 12 Truths meant.  I questioned him specifically about some of the harder concepts, and his answers were raw, pure, and spot on!  He got it!!!! My eyes filled with tears as I processed this continual miracle before my eyes called Enrique.  God IS faithful.
