How many deaths, and laying downs, and letting go, and goodbyes must this life hold? As we release a calling, a people, a team, a culture and country and another home that we deeply love, I am brought again to the place of humility and deep dependence…and gratitude. In HIS presence there is FULLNESS of JOY. HE IS the ANCHOR. He is our only Refuge. This earth is not our home. So we walk forward in JOY. We know that Ethiopia was the next home on our pilgrimage on this earth and now we move on…to JINJA.
…for the JOY set before us…WE LOOK TO JESUS…
looking down, we see this earth–full of the people created in HIS image….i am reminded it doesn’t really matter where we put our feet, as long as we are willing to put our hearts there first…God is moving in Tacoma, WA, Senegal, North Korea, Chaing Mai, Thailand, Soddo, Ethiopia and all over the globe. We journey to join His work in Jinja and wherever else He asks us…WE CHOOSE to follow him joyfully and obediently.
