Mission 2011

There is hope in faithfulness
year after year of growing trust
growing excitement
growing maturity
Why did God choose his place?
Over ten years now
of perseverance in Okreek
Messy perseverance
weak and misguided perseverance
but somehow it would seem
His hand is in it.
There is hope in the little things
Dom with his questions
counting the cost.
Cassie, growing more and more out of her comfort zone.
Sarah's cabin and their desire
to learn how to pray
Justin - bruised and broken, but
learning how to smile.
All of these children
these precious children
just waiting to be born.
I wish we could say it better
show it better
but it is sweet sleep
to rest in His sovereignty
it is a humbling, trembling joy
to be used by Him
It is a rock solid hope
to serve a faithful God
a persevering God
a God who is
and is good.
