I Bet You Wanna Choose the Maps App, Right?

Let me SHOW YOU WHY I THINK YOU SHOULD CHOOSE THE COMPASS.
See the Maps app is super useful if you know where you’re headed. It’s awesome to fire it up, enter a destination, and then let it give turn-by-turn directions. And I get it, a compass, doesn’t seem all that helpful, right? All it does is point north. What good is that?

Right now I’m under a stay-at-home order . I’m cooped up at home. I can get groceries, but that’s about it. I’m feeling an itch for things to get back to normal, but I don’t think things are going to be “normal” for quite a while. We all may be playing, “whack-a-mole” with COVID-19 for some time.
My daily life is upside down to the point where my GPS is messed up. Things are changing, and I don’t know that any of us really know where we’re going yet. The Maps app can’t move us forward if we don’t know where we’re going.
But this is a perfect time for a compass.
This is the time for a personal compass of values that will help you know where true north is. Here is a picture of your compass:

Choose the compass. Read your Bible. Feed your faith. This compass will guide you through uncertainty, past anxiety, all the way to hope and a future. We here at YWAM San Diego/Baja have tons of opportunities for you to do just that. Soon we will be reopening our Discipleship Training Schools where you can take your first steps into a new future that’s headed towards True North.
