Stephen is on his way this morning. Around 2:30am we were both lying there awake, I guess to make sure the alarm at 3:30am could be trusted. We talked about the things we were excited about, the things we were nervous about and the things we didn't even know were coming. But mostly we talked about G0d's sovereignty and how it's easy to say we believe it. We talked about the Truths we were rehearsing to ourselves. We both know it is so very good for us to go. Our personalities need the refining fire of shockingly out of our control life changes. We know intellectually that things here aren't in our control either but our lists and our plans and our organizational skills mask that fact and deceive our hearts. We go into this new year and this new adventure knowing there will be very hard days...but that those days are coming for our good and His glory. And we're trusting that the L0rd will give us many amazing moments, people and experiences as well.
Always in my prayers as you go, where ever you go. :-)
ReplyDeleteTears of joy and sadness all at the same time but I know God will be glorified and you will be blessed through this experience. I will probably say this often but you are an inspiration to us as believers!
ReplyDeletePrayers for safety in this leg of the journey.
