For those just coming to our blog, we are a family from the USA that has been called to serve in Mexico. The name of blog reflects the uniqueness of our journey and the biblical truth that as believers in Jesus Christ we are strangers here waiting for our eternal residency in heaven to begin. We all live in an "odd" place.

Eyes watching.
Today for the first time I felt the very negative feeling of being a minority. I had a security officer follow me back and forth, back and forth in the store. I had ran in to get some more medicine for Edan. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I know that this happens to many people all the time because the way they look or the color of their skin. While I have felt watched many times before because we are the foreigners it has never really been in a negative way. I thought, wow, so this is what it feels like. I can't imagine having this happen ALL the time. I would get pretty sick of it.
