Jordon honestly admits that he has always been skeptical about matters of faith. He says that when he went to church, he heard the same message but it never really sunk in. "It was like everyone around me was a part of a play that I never got a part in," he says describing his experience.
Everything changed the summer he went on a mission trip to Costa Rica to help rebuild a broken community. The first day the group's spirits were running high -- after a couple of hours of work they were ready to lay cement. By noon their work came to a sudden halt with what Jordon describes as a "torrential downpour," unlike one he ever experienced. They were concerned that they would not be able to complete their project.
"I have never prayed so hard in my life," Jordon says. It was at that moment that he placed his "complete faith in God." They were able to finish their project with perfect weather the rest of the week. "Ever since that trip," Jordan claims God "has given me a reason for living and my life has never been the same after I chose to completely rely on God."
The prophet Jeremiah sent a letter to the people living in a strange land living as exiles. It might have seemed odd to the people that Jeremiah would instruct them to build homes, plant gardens, and get married. He wanted to convey a sense of hope that life would return to normal even in exile.
