I know we all wished God’s path for us were more straightforward.
I, for one, wished I could just hit the ground running, running feeding and healthcare programmes every day and getting on a truck to visit villages every day.
But know, that’s the way of short term steroid missions, and not the way of longterm incarnational living.
Neither way is wrong. But I’m learning- to embrace what God has assigned for us this season— to trust, to wait, to build in the hidden places.
I’ll admit, I was saving the joy of sharing a “success story” with you for today- that because we waited on God, because we chose the right thing, that YAY, our kids got to start school on time, just like what we prayed for.
But the truth is, God often doesn’t give us what we ask for.
Even then, do we trust in His goodness?
I know my kids do when they tell me, “Mama, I love this season of homeschooling.”
And when I hear my deepest inner voice tell me, that I’ll only get to live through this precious season once in my life.
Hey you, in the quiet corner, building quietly, God has not forgotten you.
